Last week Nortel announced the acquisition of open-source VoIP provider, Pingtel. If you hadn’t heard of Pingtel before the acquisition news, you’re not alone. The company has actually been around for a long time, but has failed to make a strong imprint on the industry.

I’m therefore in the same camp as Garrett Smith in believing that there’s not a lot of substance to the acquisition:

  • This news isn’t big - The old guard has been getting in bed with IP PBX providers and open source projects in the space for the last two years. This is nothing new
  • This is a cost cutting move - If you notice Nortel had a preexisting OEM relationship with Pingtel. Buying them will lower their costs because they are no longer paying the associated fees to Pingtel
