The folks at Cisco are having a great laugh. They get the upside of providing the network, they do it at a much cheaper cost (to Cisco), and Nortel looks like the bankrupt disaster that it has become.

However, if there any Nortel products fanatics left on this planet, don't worry. Mike Z is goin g to announce that Nortel will be providing the network for the Macedonian High School Goat Tossing Tournament in 2011.

Nortel helped Cisco get going in voice, firing some of the best in the business, who promptly went down the road. Cisco snapped them up.

The olympic games do not last for a long time. However, the planning, design, implementation for the telecommunications infrastructure must begin far, far in advance of the actual athletic competitions.

It does not make sense for either side to rely on a promise made in 2009 to be kept in 2012. That is 3 years — not one week as you say.
