Microsoft Partially Acquires Nokia; Timeline Still Intact (September 3, 2013)

[ChrisReid]

Nokia's Devices and Services division will be purchased by Microsoft in a bold acquisition plan announced yesterday. What's this have to do with Wing Commander? During our future war with the Kilrathi, the Nokia Corporation is still alive and kicking. They manufacture the console that monitors Pegasus Station's radar in March 2654. Despite the huge shift for the company, Nokia will still exist after the deal with Microsoft is finalized in 2014. The Finnish firm will focus on "maps, network infrastructure and advanced technologies." Sounds like a great springboard to making NavCom AIs someday!
