Sweden's Ericsson is looking at ten U.S. networking companies and already has begun talks with three of them, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Similar rumors of Ericsson's plan surfaced earlier this week. The company is more likely to pursue less expensive start-ups than networking giants such as Ascend or 3Com, the Journal reported.
