Ericsson could use Nortel's relationship with U.S. carriers to win lucrative contracts for converting their wireless networks to next-generation equipment. Huawei, which has made rapid inroads in other parts of the world, might try to use Nortel to improve its presence in North America.

As I posted a couple weeks back:

1) MikeZ cant turn it around
2) needs to boost his ego
3) he will divest bits and sell the rest to either MS or IBM

MEN is easy to integrate into an existing business or can function as a standalone if needed. Easy to cut out of the org with little impact to deals or customers.

Watch wireless get sold off. It is as well easy to sever.

Data is a nothing in the marketplace.

Carrier VoIP is minor growth area but has good sustaining footprint.

Eneterprize Voice and YouSee is where the next bit of $$ is

SOA and that script kiddy stuff…..well there are no barriers to entry and NT has no advantage.

Beer on me if they dont fallow this plan!

I would have to give the NT spin doctors credit cause they pounced and pre warned right after the banks….good timing so they can blame it on something other then their incompetence. Funny how they did not do it last week, or as many pointed out 6 weeks ago they were on track. Which rhymes with crack!
