Nortel Networks, Canada’s biggest tech story (4)

October 31st, 2007 · by Heri · Technology

The canadian edition of PC World has a very interesting article about Nortel Networks and its story. According to the article, Nortel transformed Ottawa into the nation’s tech capital.

More than 60 high tech manufacturers and telecom service providers can trace their roots to Nortel, according to a 1999 report on the country’s capital region, and the high tech industry that fuels Ottawa’s growth.

Today, Nortel’s digital equipment is the beating heart of almost every single one of the top 25 service provider networks in the world. Statistics Canada says the company accounts for more than 15% of all private sector R&D and 85% of telecom R&D in Canada.
