I suggest to remove this section almost entirely based on wild speculations. mikka (t) 17:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Who is "I" in this section? Deleted unless someone sees reason to keep it.

Who wrote this?

After the sixth paragraph, it looks like the text was copied and pasted directly from some promotional literature. There's even a reference to "we." Blatantly POV.

I found almost the exact text in this Lucent press release in the "About Lucent" section. http://www.lucent.com/press/0405/050405.coa.html

Then others like yourself should rewrite it. The whole company profile should not be removed just because someone made a stupid mistake.

Wow - shameless advertising?

Recommend deletion of page unless it is cleaned up... Mostly copied and pasted from promotional material!

Neutrality Restored

I have deleted/severely edited questionable material on this page. I see it fit to be declared neutral. KansasCity 15:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

may as well make it more sadly interesting

As long as there is mention of Lucent looking at Juniper and then deciding to make their own router. It should be mentioned that Lucent's own router was soon cancelled after acquiring the Massachusetts based comapny Nexabit which had more vaporware than hardware, wherein shortly there after, that router was also cancelled.

"Inferno"

From back page of IEEE Internet Computing, Volume 1, Number 2, March-April 1997 I think this technology is amazing and should be mentioned (I'm not a good writer though)

The text:

Introducing (drumroll) Inferno networking software... a new Bell Labs innovation. First operating system that lets all kinds of devices chat or share info with each other over any network (Internet, telecommunications, LANS, et al). Now the video game can talk to the computer; cell phone can access e-mail; voice mail via TV, etc. (Really) Download Inferno from Lucent home page today - develop apps a.s.a.p. Could change the way you work - all together.

see Talk:Inferno (operating system)

Defunct?

Why is the type labled as defunct? I am pretty sure Lucent is still active. I don't know what goes in that field, but I am pretty sure it's not defunct... —Preceding unsigned comment added by BreakDecks (talk • contribs) 15:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is now part of another company, one called Alcatel-Lucant. Lucent Technologies no longer exists, hence is is 'defunct'. 78.105.230.196 (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
