[edit] Alcatel and Lucent Technologies old article titles.
Should the old Alcatel and Lucent pages really become redirects? Or should they remain a historical profile of the old companies? I'm not a fan of unconventional article titles like the "(old company)" title currently being used.
I think the redirects are neccessary, in the same way 'Andersen Consulting' redirects to 'Accenture', 'Beechams', 'Glaxo' or 'Glaxo Wellcome' redirects to GlaxoSmithKline, etc. as they constitutes an evolution of the companies. Maybe 'old company' is not the best choice, but those original pages should be kept. -- JaviC
I agree with redirects. Just rewrite the history of Alcatel-Lucent to have links to the old pages like AT&T's history page. After that just include current information related to the new company. Loompyloompy313 00:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Christchurch Way, Greenwich
Why is this not mentioned anywhere? or anything about Alcatel in the UK?
[edit] Patent lawsuit
Can anyone explain exactly what this lawsuit is about? I thought Fraunhofer owned the rights to MP3 and I can't imagine that Microsoft did not correctly license it from Fraunhofer. So where does Alcatel come in? Shinobu 23:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I was looking for the same. There is so much bullshit around (e.g. at BBC) about a "Fraunhofer firm." I think this article is better. --Ben T/C 20:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lucent Enso Symbol
Given the mention of the Alcatel symbol interpretation in the article, there should be some mention of the old Lucent corporate symbol being a copy of a Zen Enso, traditionally a sacred symbol of Zen Buddhism. There was some minor controversy about this commercial co-opting of a sacred symbol at the time it was introduced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 167.191.250.80 (talk) 19:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
