Answer: Limited with the exception of 911 Call Centres and telephony systems for various Police agencies such as the RCMP and a substantial market share in Canadian Hospitals. With this, you would think that the various Government bodies that manage these services would want clear direction on support commitments on these systems from the eventual purchaser of Nortel Enterprise. Research & Development of these systems is primarily located in Ottawa and Belleville, so there really should be some motivation to secure parts of this business for the best interests of Canadians. This topic could get far more complex when the Carrier Voice division of Nortel is sold. This division holds huge market share for home phone services delivered by the various Telcos across the country. If your home phone service is provided by Bell, Telus, MTS, SaskTel or Aliant, then chances are your home phone line is provisioned by Nortel equipment known as DMS or CS2000. Sustaining 911 Services will become very critical here so a long term product support plan should be of top priority and interest to all levels of Government across Canada.
