Mika: Motorola has a well deserved reputation for failure in infrastructure and shooting itself in the foot generally, Nortel does not. In fact Nortel took over and corrected some of MOT's infrastructure goofs in the US. No comparison. Re: "...when I discuss wireless issues with my editor/analyst friends Nortel does not get a great deal of airplay!" Don't question that. But why? Could it be a small problem of not the same depth of knowledge of Nortel, or just given similar deep understanding of all the players, Nortel comes up short? OK, enough from me on this. As I say, I respect your "gut feeling". Best. Chaz

>> Nortel has spent some not quite inconsiderable sum to ensure that they are seen as an IP player in recent years. However, I question this strategy strongly (something I'm sure was evident in my previous post). I believe that you would question this strategy, if your knowledge of what will happen on IP (such as VOIP), and Nortel's position in IP is limited as it sounds. In Europe, IP is small because populations in EU countries do not own use and own computers and internet(IP) like we do in the US. So your view about IP and/or Nortel's position in IP is understandable. regards, Sam A.
