Regarding : People close to the situation say that while the deal includes a laboratory in Piscataway, N.J., it is essentially a bid for the expertise of about 300 highly regarded Lucent engineers. In fact, the entire deal was contingent on the engineers becoming Motorola employees. "The facility will be operated as a state of the art Motorola design center," said a spokesman. I'm surprised that Lucent didn't also announce "the deal was also contingent on Motorola's promise to begin a petition to re-name the borderline obscene name of the city where the lab is located."
