If not 8×8, Then Who?

By Mark Evans | Published: January 29, 2005
To pursue the 8×8 train of thought a little more, I'm wondering how investors can leverage the emergence of VOIP. Do they take advantage of industry growth by pursuing companies in the hardware, software, security or service sectors? If so, do they stick with well-known brand names such as Symantec, Juniper, Cisco and Nortel, [...]

More 8×8 Math

By Mark Evans | Published: January 29, 2005

Who's Going to be Nortel's Next CEO?

You have to assume Peter Currie will be Nortel's CEO at some point. It seems like an odd move for him to go back to a job he's had before at a company still troubled by accounting, regulatory and police investigations.
