It seems that "Northern Telecom" has vanished from RTP and became "Nortel". Does anyone know what is behind this? Northern Telecom was a widely respected name in the industry, it would surprise me that they would change it and lose that recognition, if this is indeed what happened... Cheers; Louis Leclerc

Northen Telecom is the _same_ company with the _same_ name. All they did was change their logo from the NT to NORTEL. They claim the new logo has been in use in thier operations in other areas (geographically) and the RTP area is one of the last to get the logo update. -- Jeff Butera - Math Graduate Student "A graduate student is a lot like a North Carolina State University child - just when they become jvbutera@eos.ncsu.edu useful, it's time for them to go." http://www4.ncsu.edu/eos/users/j/jvbutera/www/ S.L.Campbell

And their factory in RTP is now the NORPLANT! And I hear its management stresses accident prevention a LOT..

Yup, Nortel is the new name. Nortel pulled off a rather large ad in the Wall Street Journal recently to announce the name change (as did McGraw Hill, but their name change was less significant: from Inc. to Cos.) Anyone notice that more than a few companies seem to be adopting the same earth-from-space logo lately? McDonnell Douglas has had it for ages; GM's Saturn came along, Cable & Wireless, and now the rest of the telecommunications world is following suit: Nortel, GTE.... BTW, Glaxo and Burroughs Wellcome have officially become Glaxo Wellcome PLC in NC effective 1 May. -- (Payton.Chung@launchpad.unc.edu * Opinions expressed here could be MINE!)
