"I've used web.alive (and therefore DiamondWare3D) and it delivers on our vision for unified communications and beyond."

OK, sure...but why buy it? It's not a Nortel core competency. Nortel builds networking gear and web.alive and DiamondWare3D are not networking gear. They are end-user apps. So, while these apps may capitalize on a network based upon a vision, Nortel shouldn't necessarily be buying these end-user apps, should they? Isn't that why they dumped the Contivity Client SW?

Clarification (post below):

Meant to say: ‘George, too bad we really didn’t get to know you…”

I've used web.alive (and therefore DiamondWare3D) and it delivers on our vision for unified communications and beyond. Very neat, simple and effective.

So, the new strategy is to have John Roese go out on a low-end eBay techno-spree while Riedel is doing what? So long George, it was nice not knowing you…--bb

PS-- when I suggested ‘Think Small’ I did not imply ‘Think Real Small’; that was Steve Martin’s line...

Interesting technology with a demo available on the DiamondWare website at: http://www.dw.com/Demo3DFin...

There is some excellent value in this technology across a variety of conferencing applications.

$833K per employee? Is Nortel partying like it's 1999?

This is going to boost Nortel's Q3, I bet they only loose 20 cents this coming Q. But that could be downgraded when Mike Z comes out with those "One Time Charges". That is always good for a big drop. I wonder what the new "One Time Charge" will be in Q3. Anyone got any ideas?

"create the ultimate communications experience for our customers"

And employee satisfaction will ultimately fall in right behind, Roese communicated.

good to see acquisition moves. this is all they can afford though. looks like a really tiny company with almost no footprint. maybe its the big mouth of John Roese who gets excited like a little kid who wants the fire truck from the store.
