Nortel Has Some Fun

By Mark Evans | Published: April 2, 2008

First, apologies to anyone who actually believed my post yesterday that Mike Zafirovski was leaving Nortel to become Motorola’s CEO. I figured people would figure out it was an April Fool’s joke as soon as they read that every Nortel employee was going to receive a ROKR or RAZR. :)

In any event, the most surprising reaction to my blog post was Nortel’s reaction/response. Much to my surprise, Nortel Buzzboard (my favorite Nortel blog after ANN!), fired back with their April Fool’s post that I was going to start writing Nortel Buzzboard.

Funny! I particularly liked how they described ANN as my “relentless coverage” of Nortel. I prefer to describe it as persistent or determined. :)

    I'm more than happy to cover positive news. I covered the $100-million contract with BSNL recently, didn't I? Feel free to send along any positive NT that you see using the contact form.

    cheers, Mark

    Will we know it when we see it?

    Mark, you are too much of a gentleman. IMO, no apology is necessary .

    At least you mended fences with those Nortelians that wear their hearts on their sleeves.

    Mark you are a relentless ham. I think you could go far at nortel :)
