Comments on: Nortel Didn’t Need More Protection from Foreigners http://www.allaboutnortel.com/2009/09/21/nortel-didnt-need-more-protection-from-foreigners/ All the News about Nortel Networks Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: rlsmeridian http://www.allaboutnortel.com/2009/09/21/nortel-didnt-need-more-protection-from-foreigners/comment-page-1/#comment-31486 rlsmeridian Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:39:37 +0000 http://www.allaboutnortel.com/?p=3001#comment-31486 Interesting that no one mentions that Nortel telephone sets are much better and user friendly than Avaya sets. It's a personal opinion, but compare a Nortel 1140E with an Avaya IP set, and while the Avaya telephone set looks modern and with its tone on tone grey, it lacks the color coded keys, the unique Nortel key click when dialing a number, changable ring tones that Nortel is known for, a call waiting Buzz, easy feature key programing, etc....I could go on and on. It's a sad day when these industry standard 1120/40E, M3900, T7316 sets, even older M2000 and M7000 are eliminated from the millions of desks around the world. Gone will be the RLS button, which was GREAT in retail store training manuals in regards to making paging annoucements. Here at Walgreens, our training manual trains everyone how to press the RLS key after making an annoucement so the hang up sound is not heard over the store speakers. It's not just Walgreens, all TJX stores, Borders Books, HBC in Canada, Safeways stores, Supervalu Jewel Osco stores, and many, many other retailers and other organizations that have used Nortel as industry standard telephones, will now be disrupted by Avaya, who intends to phase out all Nortel telephones for their own telephones. <br><br>It's a sad, sad day in the telecom world! Luckily I bought a Nortel BCM 50 in February for my loft in Chicago, yeah I am a telephone geek, I collect old Western Electric and Northern Electric telephones from the past....including a very interesting red rotary WE set from 1962. I actually live in a building that was the first Western Electric plant in Chicago in the early 1900's. Kind of ironic that Western Electric's future company AT&T technologies, which then became Lucent, and now Avaya, is now taking over the one company in the world that produced some of the most beautiful, well designed telephones in the world, and will replace them with their own equipment..... I am sure Avaya will come knocking soon and try to get me to switch over to their IP system, no way in HELL, will I be switching to their equipment!

Did you saw the PLAN ? Do you believe M Z or Gov ?
Me, I belive in no one. I don't think the PLAN was good but I don”t think that was not good. …And what I have to do me, as Gov ? Did you saw Gov to say “I proposed Nortel to follow our PLAN, the Gov PLAN” ? Did you saw Gov to talk too much, to show us they care about Nortel. You didn't saw and you know why? It's because THEY DIDN'T WANT.
Harper send us a very short message from Panama that he will don't block the sale. Did you saw someone from Gov to sit at table, to debate with some analist or with any one about a problem that was in hundreds of reports in the newspapers or journals.

They didn't do it because they never want to save Nortel.
