Another Nortel Perspective (and Memory)

A lot of people called out the Bay Network acquisition as one of the critical moments in Nortel beginning to lose its way.

When Nortel went Chapter 11, a lot of people called out the Bay Network acquisition as one of the critical moments in Nortel beginning to lose its way. David Rohde of TechCaliber Consulting offers up his own memory of an experience that dramatized this situation.I also think David's overall tone is on the mark, somewhere between "Nortel's not going away" and "There are legitimate concerns."

And he uses the Nortel example to make a larger point that I think Nortel's situation bears out: "It's remarkable how communications markets still essentially break down along voice and data lines."
