It's not a Nortel core competency. Nortel builds networking gear and web.alive and DiamondWare3D are not networking gear. They are end-user apps. So, while these apps may capitalize on a network based upon a vision, Nortel shouldn't necessarily be buying these end-user apps, should they? Isn't that why they dumped the Contivity Client SW? “I've used web.alive (and therefore DiamondWare3D) and it delivers on our vision for unified communications and beyond.”
