NOK had more than $3.5 billion in credit commitments to carriers. In a one-week lending binge, it lent nearly $2 billion to Hutchison 3G and Orange. All told, the nine largest manufacturers of telecom equipment had more than $25 billion at risk in vendor finance by summer 2001, according to McKinsey & Company, an IT consultancy.
