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 [...]

Nortel’s Lonely Blogger

Much to my surprise, Nortel has another blogger - although you’d be hard-pressed to find him on Nortel’s Web site.
Tony Rybczynski, director of strategic enterprise technologies, writes a blog for TMCnet called The HyperConnected Enterprise. It’s a real blog with interesting and user-friendly posts that appear on a regular basis. I’ve added Tony’s blog to [...]

New Comment System

If you’re going to make a comment on All About Nortel, you’ll probably notice a difference in the comment system.
I’m now using a comment system from a start-up called Disqus, which features threading and comment ratings as well as a forum. Given how enthusiastic many of you are about making comments, I think you’ll [...]

Nortel Bloggers Go AWOL

Hey, where are the Nortel bloggers?
John Roese hasn’t written a post since Dec. 5, while Phil Edholm’s last appearance was Dec. 20. If they’re going to build an audience, they need to be write more frequently.
Of course, Roese and Edholm are senior executives with a lot of responsibilities so blogging on a regular basis may [...]

All Quiet on the All Nortel Front

Unless Nortel does something newsworthy over the holidays (similar to buying Tasman Networks in late-December, 2005), things will be pretty quiet around here.
Happy Holidays, and thanks for visiting/reading!
