Pat, 2 very provacative posts. BC Tel/Telus merger will have little effect until they buy AT@T Canada to acquire a national network. They have to do something before big bad MA Bell goes national in their own back-yards. I don't know enough about what NN does in these three accounts to comment on that angle. <Ericsson, the Swedish tele-communications group, unveiled yesterday what it said was "an entirely new strategy", vowing to take a leading role in the fast-growing internet product market and promising annual sales growth of above 20 per cent.> On the ERICY front, this is indeed a bold statement to make, especially when you don't have products to sell !! <""We will be focusing on small companies which are technological leaders in their fields. We think it is a much smarter strategy than a mega-merger, which would be prohibitively expensive and dilute our earnings."> Any guesses who they might go after ? Cheers, Peppe
