Boys, I searched and found only Nortel disclosed contract with $110M.
Where the other vendors? like Moto, ALU and Chinese vendor, like Huawei and ZTE. What happened to these vendors?
If Nortel's deep pocket customer still rely on Nortel, why worried the future?
From the Mark Eveans's web, I havn't seen the real info happend yet. although Mark always bring some info to us…..:)

Many people are extremely frustrated with Nortel to the point that anything and everything they do must be wrong and bad. All About Nortel is the place where many come to vent their frustrations regardless if what they post is true or false.

So I take it Nortel's CDMA guys who got canned in Texas were hired right back.

I see so many negative comments on the Nortel win of this CDMA contract. But is this win better than nothing? Considering the current economic crisis, considering the cash-hungering Nortel, is this win like a drop of water for a man struggling in a desert?

At the shareholder meeting don't let them try to cut you off. A shareholder circa 2002:

"You have no credibility," Verdun said at one point, calling the Nortel downturn the "biggest financial disaster in Canadian history," and one that executives should have seen coming. At another point, he accused Nortel executives of profiting while shareholders, "many of them pensioners," lost 90 percent of their investment in the company.

"We get one day a year to ask questions of Nortel’s executive board," said the outspoken shareholder. "If you try to cut me off, there are procedural ways I can prevent that from happening."

Nortel can not earn much from this deal, not as much as Nortel did for the CDMA phase-1 in CUTC in China. The reason is that contract was not signed directly between Nortel and CTC, instead it was signed by a kind of “distributor” of Nortel with CTC….

Duncan, take a look at this article:
http://fixed-mobile-convergence.tmcnet.com/topi...

In this article, it mentioned that CTC provides services to 21 provinces, so 7 is roughly 1/3 of that. That link you posted, the original source is 163.net, a chinese website. I don't completely trust the source. Previously, also published and sourced in some chinese websites, there were news about huawei built a 100G prototype, as well as 100GE prototype.. so far now one has seen it. Would you say the sources or the information are credible? Thanks.
