| [London, ENGLAND] Global telecom group Cable & Wireless announced
Monday that it will spend US $1.4 billion over 10 years with Nortel
Networks to transform its switched network to voice over IP (VoIP).
The provisional agreement with Nortel Networks is for a ten-year
contract, although transforming the network is expected to take just
three years. After building the network, Nortel will continue
to manage it via its Global Professional Services group.

it a landmark project for the Global Professional Services group.

The two companies will thrash out the details of their agreement between
now and the end of the year when a definitive contract is expected
to be signed. Monday's announcement refers specifically to the signing
of a memorandum of understanding.
Broadly, the terms of the agreement will be based on the premise that
Cable & Wireless will retain full control of the network architecture,
the design of the VoIP platform, while also keeping responsibility for
customer relationships.
Nortel Networks will manage circuit switches on the Cable & Wireless
network in the U.S. and Europe, build a VoIP platform, and migrate
the traffic from the legacy network to the new one.
Cable & Wireless had revenues of US $14 billion to end of March 2000;
Nortel Networks had 1999 U.S. GAAP revenues of US $21.3 billion.
