Thank you for pointing it out.
Yes, I apology for using that Comparison.
I have just checked YouTube searching for Nortel+scandal
I see some politicians are asking the same questions as me.
When Government empty jails letting out some small petty cash "criminals" and start arresting white collar criminals responsible for defrauding billions$$?

"It looked like there were monkeys running the business."
I thought we agreed to adhere to a "certain standard of behavior" and stop insulting monkeys.
Don't forget all the positive attributes assigned to monkeys in the Chinese zodiac

CDMA is rapidly losing its popularity even in Korea as the major carriers here move their subs to UMTS and LTE when it becomes available. There is one smaller carrier who are still only CDMA only, but even they are seriously thinking about going to LTE. Since LTE is rooted in UMTS both in standards and customer base, I wonder if Nortel has a chance in their LTE effort. Their niche would be going after CDMA customers going to LTE, but unless they have a product platform that migrates from CDMA to LTE, it's more likely to be an opening for major UMTS/LTE players to just come in and take over the market share (like in the case of Bell/Telus)… It seems like an uphill battle for Nortel and I wonder if there is any justification for Nortel to keep trying in LTE. Anyone?

Oh yea.
I've made this point many times.
Management from the cab driver on down has ruined this company. I could give you fifty examples like the one you noted above.
China, Vietnam..and especially Mexico…All disasters.
Check out the quality and competency you get from Mexico.
A total Disaster.

Good people are moving to completion, and the dead wood stays with Nortel.
There was a VP in CDMA that during his ‘career’ with Nortel managed to screw up whatever he touched. His last screw-up; support and production control move to China is a disaster, but instead of being fired he's being moved to VoIP.
Good on you Mike – keep dead wood floating.

Thanks Good Neighbour… A lot of turkeys have made the ultimate sacrifice for today… CHEERS and Enjoy Columbus Day…
Even Nortel is having a good day as it is up about 18 cents.

I respectfully disagree that Sue was a very competent leader.

Yea, Nortel people everywhere. However, some ex-Nortel people had links to Bell and Telus, and some did not. In this case, the Huawei people like their CTO Charles Martin, had links. Mike Reiter, an NSN salesperson, used to work for Nortel as the Telus wireless salesperson. These two companies won the Telus business.

Ericsson has few or no ex-Nortel people. ALU has few. NSN has many. Huawei has very many.
