Mika: Your "gut feeling" which is based on considerable experience and knowledge, may well be right - Nortel fades. But as for: "They may be seen to be innovative (particularly in IP) but when it comes out to building out mass wireless networks, where is there pedigree?" The question is not so much where is Nortel's pedigree, but rather more where isn't it. Nortel is in just about every country in the world and has built "mass wireless networks" ranging from Australia through Brazil and elsewhere in South America, and North America of course, into Europe with GSM and the internet. And Nortel is likely to be very active in China in both flavors of 3rd gen. But I respect your "gut feeling". Best. Chaz

What's the Finnish view of this recent drop in Nokia - is it Greenspan induced inflation mania? The strong dollar/weak Euro? Reaction to the NASDAQ drop? Tired market with acute lack of buying interest? Worry about Nokia 3G contracts? Worry about the Japanese handsets coming on strong from their I-mode presence? Or all of the above?

>> This is a problem for many companies who have been 'hyping' IP capability, simply put they do not have the QoS expected in the telecom market. Quality of Service QoS is a technical term, the delivery of which is easily quantifiable by technical ITU standards and criteria in each field of service. Nortel conforms and complies or exceeds with all the QoS standards in every product line they sell. Are you suggesting in any form or manner that Nortel does not do this? If your knowledge in these technical matters does not extend as far it should before you make a statement like that, please apply better control on what you post. Not at all amused with ignorance or disrespect for a corporation that has done more for the world than obviously you are aware of. Sam A.
