    Nortel was like old school AT&T, they got big by doing things properly with reliable, well-designed hardware/software and hiring lots of extremely talented people, and once the money reached a critical mass they started doing super shady shit and traded out all of the talent, passion and loyalty for more money until nothing but a husk was left, and it inevitably collapsed.

    Greed consumes all.
