Nokia was established in 1865 as a wood pulp mill by KnutFredrik Idestam. The company was later relocated to the town of Nokia by theNokianvirta river, which had better resources for hydropowerproduction. Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia Wood Mills as well asFinnish Cable Works. These three companies were merged to form Nokia Corporationin 1967.

VoIP handsets may be floated in India for as less as Rs.800 (Chinese make) to Rs. 15000 for high end modelsby leading players such as CISCO.
