Maybe someone will ask Mike Z about PBT once again and the impact on expected revenues in 2008-2009. Nokia Simens is out of that market. NSN and NT were the engines to push PBT into markets. Today NSN is out! read
But the CEO was prepared to comment on PBT: Siemens was one of the British carrier's named PBT suppliers that is now looking at a near-empty order book following BT's decision last week to switch its focus to MPLS. (See PBT Sidelined at BT.)
While Nortel Networks Ltd. (NYSE/Toronto: NT - message board) is focusing on PBT opportunities with other carriers, Beresford-Wylie is unfazed by BT's decision. (See Nortel: There's More to PBT Than BT.)
"Some of my guys were saying a year ago that it wasn't worth pursuing, and it seems they were right." And Scholz added that it is no longer an area of R&D focus for NSN. "We considered it and decided to focus on MPLS," stated the CTO bluntly. ----- http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp... btw Mark E, are you avoiding talking about PBT&Nortel, BSNL&Nortel? So many new developments and you are just comfortably silent.

May 31 2008 Basic electronic equipment is being replaced in all the 101 BSNL towers set up across Jamshedpur. According to a highly placed source in BSNL’s Jamshedpur secondary switching area, BSNL was earlier using Nortel equipment, but now the department is using Ericsson equipment.
“We are replacing Nortel machinery with Ericsson equipment since the past one month. We expect the work to be over by mid-June,” said R.K. Mishra, the general manager, BSNL, Jamshedpur.
Sources said the replacement work is being carried out in full force and the disruption in connectivity was fallout of this work.
The department has to suspend the functioning of the BSNL mobile tower to carry out the work. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080531/jsp/jhark... It would be interesting to know why ERICs got the job to replace NT gears at BSNL.
