From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel-Lucent. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alcatel built Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment. What became of it?
Alcatel brought Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its merger with Alcatel-Lucent for US$13.4B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel-Lucent today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
