All About Nortel: Ericsson Expects to Close CDMA Deal Soon

    "willl increase Ericsson’s market share in wireless network equipment in North America to about 50%." but for how long?

    Suckers... a desperate gamble

    CDMA dying, and on the way out.

    Their licensed LTE (4G) with such a short development time after dumping UMTS (3G) to ALcatel for $300M... selling the leapfrogging 3G to 4G notion?

    $1.13B rip off by company lacking credibility, even short changed RIM by folding to thwart past negotiations that were ready to be a done deal.

    They sell business units better than they were able to sell product.

    E/// will do just fine. Essentially they'll be the radio worldwide for future cellular networks while Cisco (read that as Starent Networks) will be be packet core of those cellular networks. An oligopoly is born. Plenty of playgrounds for the iPhone and other wonderful handsets coming out in the future. It's less about Nortel now - it's more about the future.
