Not so.  The *NAME* of the company is still Northern Telecom.
The *LOGO* was changed from NT to NORTEL (with the funky O) -
big difference.

If the name hasn't officially changed, it will.  NORTEL will be the global
name by the end of the year.  (I think this was announced at the shareholder
meeting a couple of weeks ago.)

"Northern Telecom" will be phased out as quickly as it makes business sense
to do so in each country.
