		<description><![CDATA[Mark Evans submits:  With only two days left to submit bids for Nortel&#8217;s (NRTLQ.PK) Metro Ethernet Network business, the big question is whether anyone else will step up to the plate, or whether Ciena&#8217;s CIEN $511-million cash-and-stock bid will be the only offer.   For potential bidders, an...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Evans submits:  As Nortel (NRTLQ.PK) edges toward oblivion, people are starting to think about life post-Nortel. What will Canada&#8217;s high-tech sector be like without thousands of high-paying employees? What will life be like for thousands of pensioners whose benefits are shrinking or disappearing? How will Canada&#8217;s R&D activity...]]></description>
