November looks like it could be an interesting month for Nortel. Here’s what’s on tap:

- Nov. 13: The auction for the metro Ethernet networking business is scheduled to take place, although there are reports it could be delayed to give potential bidders more time to prepare offers.

- Nov. 16: The company’s third-quarter results will be unveiled – not that it matters much but it will provide some more insight into how the business has deteriorated as customers scatter to rivals.

- Nov. 20: The auction of the GSM business happens.
