To me the combination is a very sensible one. It's a good mix. Alcatel has done very, very well in the United States and elsewhere, but there's not that much overlap (with Lucent), so I think it's a powerful global position, possibly forcing Nortel and Ericsson to get together. -Charles Disanza

In both cases there's precious little reason to own these stocks, even though they're probably cheap. It's as if you own a house in the worst part of town, and you're willing to sell it at half its value. It may be a bargain, but nobody wants to live in the worst part of town.

This isn't a pleasant place for either of these companies to be.

Now, they must go for market-share stability, because the local telephone companies ... are coming into this market, perhaps in a year or so.
