No, not "mobile phone makers", but rather "mobile phone equipment makers". They are not the same. In this case, it looks like it's a merger of Nokia and Siemens' network equipment divisions, which should allow them to compete more effectively with boutique companies like Ericsson and Lucent. Yup, I feel their pain too.
From reading the linked story, it doesn't even look like this agreement extends to mobile phone chip sets, or any other part of the consumer end of the business.
