Networks are complex and demanding things, one reason Crashing-Billy-Boy would actually gain a lot
if he could get his hands on Ericsson.
On the other hand, he would probably never be able to use all the knowledge, traditions and skills.
On the third hand, he managed to pick the VMS brains of DEC to get NT going, although stuff like
footprint and bloath had to be sacrificed, due to the still sloppy handling of memory and critical events.
On the forth foot, Nokia Networks started from writing interface stuff between orthogonal network
vendors and standards, Ericsson and Bell labs two of them, additionally using cheap and
massproduced Intel hardware.
That is, on the fifth foot, Ericsson has some inner skills, lots of folders and documents, at the art of complex
undocumented networks, especially those weirder ones of early, ancient and legacy USA history.
But on the sixth, and sexiest foot, global standards have made great imprints (freudian joke) on
even the weirdest old monopoly networks, 56kbps, stolen bits and all the funny rests.

Nortel too has all this embedded in their organisation, but what about Lucent, the blinding light
of old Ma Monopoly Bell??
Not to forget the seventh foot, is it nicer to be in networks or handsets these days??
As well as the single lost foot, that little nonstandard duck

All, obviously, in both duck-speak and oil, that little magic. |
