Once you get past the fluff, you'll rapidly realise that the author knows next to nothing about the history of telecom, let alone its business and technology aspects. Oh, and by the way, the AT&T breakup was in 1984, not 1956; that was the signing of a consent decree between AT&T and the U.S. Justice Department (Sigh).

While Nortel has had and continues to have a signficant role in shaping Ottawa as a technology centre. I believe that those companies started by Terry Mathews have an equal if not larger role in shaping the cities technology character. If you look at the senior managers in many Ottawa companies you will probably find more people from Newbridge or Mitel than Nortel. Hi Heri, interesting post and article.
