The largest consumer credit system in the world that has been driving the global economy is on the verge of collapse. Much of the next decade in the United States will end up as a debt servicing period as baby boomers begin collecting money that the government doesn't have. Additionally Paulson's plan to "save" homeowners will only prolong the problem and result in more systemic financial issues. The dollar's fate is sealed as the globe's leading reserve currency and export driven economies around the globe will suffer as a result of the downtuwn in the United States. I agree with Bubba.

Hyperconnectivity is hype with no products or services in Nortel to support it - WIMAX is just another wireless access technology. Nortel needs to get rid of blowhards like John Roese and concentrate on giving some shareholder returns. Nortel needs to stop talking and start showing results.

We get it; we just hope that Nortel bloggers will, hopefully soon…The more NT hypes 4G/Hyperconnectivity the longer that road to ‘recreating a great company’ is going to be. Since WiMax does not offer any backward compatibility its business case is limited to only being a viable alternative to DSL or coax (cable)-based access. Last time I checked there were plenty of places around the globe that lacked either (or both); why not use WiMax there. Clearwire seems to be doing pretty well with such an application. However, if you insist on “doing some really cool $#!^ over wireless” then go get yourselves the iPhone. And let’s all get back to work now, shall we.

Who is going to invest in such a complete revamp of existing cellular systems, for personal or enterprise use, and 2. And people having to live down and cut discretionary spending to the bone ... Wimax? Forget it. 3. Corporations will manage just fine without Wimax just as they have until now. It is a wonderful technology with new and exciting uses, but its timing with the economic wall we're fast approaching, it will pay little dividends until years from now. Sad for such a sink it was in development effort and cost.
