It is sad to see another great name disappear. Don\\\’t know if it was inevitable but I would think that a 110+ trade name is worth something. So, my guess is that Nortel creditors either wanted too much for the name or the name came with some considerable liabilities. I don\\\’t know about other big guys that carved out pieces of Nortel for themselves – all those companies have great names long established by now – but at least Genband would be wise to consider taking Nortel\\\’s name.

Another one bites the dust …

I am sad to see the Nortel name disappear. I never worked for Nortel but I did start my career at Ericsson literally don’t the street from them in RTP, NC. That name takes me back to memories of those early days right after college working that area. RIP, Nortel.

I did work for Nortel not for long, only for a couple of years. I feel crying to see Nortel\\\’s situation. It\\\’s not they did not have good products.. I feel to identify the management executives who are responsible for this condition… John Roth must be one of them and thay all should be behind the bar…

Shame on you..
