Re: GEC p.l.c. Selling Marconi?

Thread,
As a Last Mile investor, this bit of news caught my attention. Does anyone know anything about this situation?

From what I recall, Marconi (ex Realtec) is/was a DLC powerhouse. Marconi is part Fore Systems and part Realtec and whatever else it had in it's stable before they purchased these two US companies (see linked upstream post).
