Interview: ST-Ericsson CEO Alain Dutheil on the LTE rollout

Barcelona, Spain -- It was touch and go for a while, but the legal and financial folks sorted out the details in time for ST-Ericsson to make its debut here last week at the Mobile World Congress. London editor John Walko caught up with Alain Dutheil, newly installed CEO of the company, which is vying for second in the wireless chip business.

4G was on everyone's tongue at the Mobile World Congress, but 3G HSPA handsets and dongles drew the foot traffic.
