Nortel Being Sold Off

For those of you who missed it, Nortel is being sold off in pieces.

"Ericsson announced its interest in Nortel's wireless assets late, but it came home the winner, paying $1.13 billion for Nortel's LTE and legacy CDMA business." [Doug]

The Enterprise unit was sold to rival Avaya for $475M. [Reuters]

Radware had previously purchased Nortel Alteon business.

Having sat in a session with Nortel last week, it can't be fun to work there. Worse, it can't be fun to be a Channel Partner. Any residuals are likely gone. Worse is that you can't confidently sell Nortel solutions. How could you? It's bankrupt and being sold off. I wouldn't lend my reputation to a company in BK. Time to come up with a new business plan. We certainly live in interesting times.
