Hi, Craig, it's not only WSJ, last weekend Paul Kangas of NBR also said something like "Nortel, Northern Telecom." IMHO, this is no biggie. Remember XEROX at one time got bend out of shape when people said "xeroxing" vs "copying," now XEROX doesn't mind at all. Of course, there are differences between the two parallels, but suffice to say the bridge from "Northern Telecom" to "Nortel Networks" is best to be a progressive one, else people may get confused to think the latter is merely a sub of the former. In that sense, shutting off the old name quickly could backfire. Of course, JMHO
best, Bosco
