Ericsson said fourth-quarter net income improved to 9.73 billion Swedish kronor (USD 1.4 billion), or 0.61 krona a share, from 8.54 billion kronor, or 0.54 krona a share, a year earlier. Ericsson benefitted from Japanese operators buiding out their mobile broadband offerings and Western European carriers increasingly letting Ericsson manage their networks.
