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. It's looking to increase its odds by making the most of a rich portfolio inherited from its three parents: STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors and Ericsson Mobile Platforms (EMP).
4G was on everyone's tongue at the Mobile World Congress, but 3G HSPA handsets and dongles drew the foot traffic.

EE Times: Now that the mergers have been completed, what do you see as the main tasks ahead, and what are the company's targets and opportunities?
