…and RIM had a joint initiative with Nortel to get IP Telephony on BES.

Nortel has played a big roll in the wireless industry that we have today. Not only that but this is just one of the few CANADIAN Fortune 500 companies breathing. Regardless if they’re breathing sh*t, they’re still Canadian. Any news about Nortel, as annoying as it can be, should remind people about the failed industrial policies that took it down in the first place.

You might notice some words there that apply to the wireless industry and the infrastructure BlackBerrys need to run…

* Base Station Controllers
* Base Transceiver Stations
* EDGE
* 1xEV-DO

No wonder one of you works for our mobile entertainment site and the other now works for another blog. =D

Nortel is no longer much of a player in the wireless industry.

In 2006, Nortel sold its Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to Alcatel-Lucent for $320 million.

Nortel helps supply the infrastructure that you use your BlackBerry on. The fact that they’re in trouble is not only news to people within the wireless industry, but also people that use their BlackBerry on said wirless infrastructure. We’re also in a global recession, and news of Nortel’s shortcomings helps indicate how this is affecting the wireless industry.
