REUTERS/Lars Hagberg/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSTOCKHOLM, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Ericsson (ERICb.ST) on Wednesday announced a 32 billion Swedish crown ($2.9 billion) impairment charge related to its acquisition last year of Vonage, and said core profits fell in the third quarter as demand tumbled in North America. "The impairment charge represents 50% of the total amount of goodwill and other intangible assets attributed to Vonage." Ericsson said a preliminary reading showed its operating profit before amortisation and restructuring and impairment charges fell 39% in the third quarter to 4.7 billion crowns. Ericsson's profits plunged also in the second quarter as a slowdown in consumer spending hit sales of telecommunications gear.
