KPN is doing a lot at the fixed unit with cost cuts and introducing new services, the question is whether it's enough in this market.

Philips earnings are solid, but unexciting. Revenues were strong across the board, and as far as the outlook is concerned, Philips essentially confirmed what was already expected.

The price seems on the high side, especially when taking the growth of this company into account.

I like the ceremonial part of it and the tradition.

I'm pretty caring, loyal and loving to those who are close to me. Two of my friends are from school, so I've known them for more than 30 years. My best friend, Paul Fisher, sat next to me in English when I was ten or 11. If you asked him, he'd say I was loyal. I don't think I've changed over the years.

You must always be able to predict what's next and then have the flexibility to evolve.
