Nokia has struck a 15.6-billion-euro deal to buy its rival Alcatel-Lucent to create the world's biggest supplier of mobile phone network equipment, both firms said Wednesday. The merger of two companies that were once new technology stars but have since lost some of their luster will produce a European champion able to take on Nokia's Swedish rival Ericsson or fierce Chinese competition. The announcement sent shares in Alcatel-Lucent plunging more than 10 percent on Paris's stock market, while Nokia's stocks rose 1.8 percent to 7.62 euros on the Helsinki market. Finland's Nokia said it had agreed to give shareholders in its Franco-American rival 0.55 shares in the new merged company for every one of their own.
