I think this is a great deal - for Alcatel Lucent. Hardware networking equipment is mostly going to become commodity (with SDN). Some networking equipment will stay expensive, but that will be a smaller market. I don&#x27;t see what Nokia sees in this deal...<p>On the other hand Nokia can still turn things around once they get back the right to use the name in phones (afaik the name was sold to MS for a limited period). If they stop inventing new OS every month (and stick to stock Android) they could be a huge player.
