Another Day, Another New Nortel Blog

Given how much Nortel likes to talk about “hyperconnectivity”, it comes as no surprise at all that it’s launched a new blog called….”Hyperconnectivity“.
Phil Edholm said the blog, written by Alex Lewis and Carl Longino, will “look at the Hyperconnectivity revolution from the view of Nortel’s key initiatives addressing the Hyperconnectivity challenge - UC, WiMAX, [...]

Nortel Has Some Fun

First, apologies to anyone who actually believed my post yesterday that Mike Zafirovski was leaving Nortel to become Motorola’s CEO. I figured people would figure out it was an April Fool’s joke as soon as they read that every Nortel employee was going to receive a ROKR or RAZR.
In any event, the most [...]

Light Blogging Ahead

I’m taking some vacation so posts will likely be few and far between for the next several days - unless there’s major news.

You Owe Me, Buzzboard

Mark Buford and Bo Gowan owe me some serious link-love given all the traffic that All About Nortel has been driving to Nortel Buzzboard this week. It’s easily tossed aside CTO John Roese’s blog as the most popular outbound link.
I may have created a monster….and maybe some competition for your hearts and minds. [...]

Hats Off to Bo Gowan and Mark Buford

My new heros at Nortel: Bo Gowan and Mark Buford, who are co-writing a relatively new Nortel corporate blog called Nortel Buzzboard.
These guys are bringing it. (I’m watching the Raptors crush the Heat so apologies for the basketball analogy!). I like their stuff. It’s interesting, real and, most important, they’re working it like real bloggers [...]

Barron’s: It’s a Death Spiral

Here’s what Barron’s Stocks to Watch blog Today had to say about Nortel:

ANOTHER SHOT ACROSS NORTEL BOW
There are three things that Canadians all seem to agree on: they like that Loonie/USD trade these days, that Guy Lafleur was one heck of a hockey player, and Nortel Networks (NT) is trapped in some kind of a [...]

What Ahead in ‘08?

Nortel CTO John Roese makes some predictions for 2008. These include:
1. WiMax and LTE trials will get “some real air time”.
2. Unified Communications will eclipse VoIP
3. Spectrum policy will become so complex that we will realize that global harmonization will not be possible, nor really necessary.
4. Wireline and optical networks will take a major speed [...]

Comments on Comments

It’s been about a month since I introduced a new comment system called Disqus.
In theory, it’s supposed to be an upgrade by offering comment threads, as well as some much-needed anti-spam tools. That said, I’ve heard a few grumbles from some people about how Disqus can be difficult to use.
Let me know what you [...]

Updates on Comments

Since switching to Disqus a few weeks ago to jump-start All About Nortel’s comments system, there’s been some pushback, particularly about the fact the “Recent Comments” widget isn’t being updated.
I wasn’t aware until a few days about this problem so thanks to those of you who pointed it out. I touched base with Disqus to [...]

Roese Blogs on Nortel 2008

Nortel CTO John Roese has posted his first blog post in a month (John: someone’s got to monitor you!), and he provides a nice overview on what’s happening on the telecom landscape and how Nortel is positioned to, of course, capitalize on it.
Here’s one paragraph that caught my attention:
“And, we will see the IT [...]
