北方电讯耗资91亿美元收购Bay网络公司,成为网络业界有史以来最大的交易之一,但并不会是最后一个。随着股票价格下跌,以及语音和数据网络不断融合,在许多行业出现的兼并热潮也在网络竞技场涌动着。除了众所周知的Nortel-Bay交易,在过去几周内还可以看到,Tellabs公司以70亿美元购买Ciena公司,以及Alcatel Alsthom花费40亿美元收购DSC通讯公司。在过去的几个月内,Lucent技术公司相继兼并了Livingston Enterprises公司、Prominet公司和ATM生产商Yurie系统公司。
Nortel acquired Bay Networks at a cost of $ 9.1 billion, making it one of the biggest deals in the industry, but not the last. As share prices have plummeted and voice and data networks have converged, the surge in mergers and acquisitions in many industries has also surged on the cyber arena. In addition to the well-known Nortel-Bay deal, it has been seen in the last few weeks that Tellabs bought Ciena for $ 7 billion and Alcatel Alsthom spent $ 4 billion for DSC Communications. In the past few months, Lucent Technologies has merged Livingston Enterprises, Prominet and ATM manufacturer Yurie Systems.
