Scenarios about 'Nortel'

Nortel (Northern Telecom) was a Canadian telecommunications and data networking equipment manufacturer founded in 1895 that became a global leader in digital network technology during the late 20th century. Once accounting for over a third of the market value of all Canadian companies, Nortel collapsed dramatically following the dot-com bubble burst, filing for bankruptcy in 2009.
