Number five on Ny Teknik's power list
The engineering weekly Ny Teknik ranks the 50 people with the most power over the future of IT and telecoms. Rickard comes fifth, ahead of TeliaSonera and the venture capitalists, among others.
The old men are standing cap in hand.
- Rickard to the staff: “the tiny little company in Tullhuset and on Tegnérlunden” had overtaken the giants, and it was the staff's fault.
- In December 2004 the magazine Shortcut named Rickard third among the entrepreneurs of the year.
