It's important, though, to be selective, because large integrated firms like Nortel will be slower to
recover than smaller, nimbler rivals. What their carrier customers need to buy their way out of the
slump is more of the new equipment, and less of the old. As my colleague Cintra Scott pointed out

that no longer grows at dramatic rates. True, Nortel continues to revamp these products, and some
of its customers can cut costs by updating the stuff they already own. But more powerful savings
