Nokia Siemens Tweeting About Nortel Deal

I agree on this one:

Reuters view http://bit.ly/90Dda – fyi if there's another bid it must be 'like for like' – can't be for all or different assets

too bad the link doesn't work, but since NSN already got it's bid in, the other bid will have to be very similar, so MP won't be able to put a single bid for the whole thing… I think

Buy yourslef a nice din; you have earned it!…—bb

That link doesn't work.

Sure they can bid the whole thing, but they must itemize the bid so it is clear what they are offering for each piece since almost no sane bidder would want the whole thing, they will have to bid everyone on the individual pieces.

I still think MP is posturing and blowing smoke trying to drive up the price because first and foremost they are a creditor.

Did Avaya walk?

Capitalizing on propaganda and government assistance deja vous.

I somehow do not feel positive about Siemen's participation and outcome.

Buying a big division of a company is an extremely complex activity. You don't just get offers that you like right away. They are probably still negotiating an acceptable deal.

But just because there is no deal announced yet, Nortel is almost certainly looking at hundred million+ dollar offers on other divisions. So the $1 suggestion is just plain silly.

Most estimates put buying all of Nortel at 2 Billion or more. If MP wants it all they can start bidding each piece first besting the $650 Million offer on the table for CDMA+LTE.

But it might be the end of MP because say the buy it all for 2.5 Billion. Next that have to finance the operation of Nortel. Nortel is a basket case and only getting worse as time passes. Most have written off Nortel and the massive delay as MP takes over and tries to come up with a resurrection plan would only accelerate the fall. MP clearly doesn't have what it takes to resurrect Nortel, no one does.

Again the only sane play I can see is posturing on MP part trying to drive up sale prices. The only interesting part to see is if they will actually go as far as outbidding NSN, (hoping NSN outbids them) but that would be a dangerous game as MP has no idea what to do with this asset if they did win it.

Matlin Patterson tries to get the responsibility of bailing out Nortel that the government did not do in the past. So why are they giving support to NSN via EDC. I think they don't want the Nortel brand as a canadian brand. For whom the fed gov of canada is working for?

i think, MP will put a much higher value to CDMA to win the only auctioned BU, CDMA and LTE Access and then the judge will not permit to sell the other divisions so we can say MP' s bid may be around 1 or 2 B can cover all the units not to be sold to other parties. So this means they will gain the auction by putting an astronomic value to CDMA and then in formality barricade the other units selling off possibilities(this means they are worth only 1$)

What “fact-based and realistic update” would you accept, as such, beyond Nortel is a recognized leader in delivering communications capabilities that enhance the human experience, ignite and power global commerce, and secure and protect the nation's most critical information.

Are any Nortel geniuses gonna show, or are they too busy? Doing what? Nortel is well on the right track to recovery. They could've hosted a few lunch and learns by now. Trying to save a buck or two, are they? Is the Club wired out with ozone-depleting Cisco gear? What?

Bleed it and reap:

China-based Huawei Technologies has reportedly appointed a former Nortel (NYSE:NT) executive, Tim Watkins, as its Vice President of Huawei Western Europe. Watkins, Huawei said, will be responsible for sales and marketing in the region, as well as strategic planning for leading European operators. Watkins worked for Nortel Networks, as the company's North EMEA president.

“We have lately made a number of hires of some very talented technical experts and managers, including some for LTE coming from Nortel,” says an Alcatel-Lucent spokesman. “Beyond that we are not going to comment on how many or in what areas.”

Mhm. That would be negative press.

A good thought from Nokia Siemens.
Might they can achieve their Targets…by using Twitter !!!
