SAN JOSE -- Flextronics is among several Nortel Networks creditors calling for changes to the beleaguered telecom OEM's planned sale of certain wireless assets to Nokia Siemens Networks. The Nortel-Nokia Siemens deal is worth some $650 million, which Nortel desperately needs to exit bankruptcy. But the creditors could hold up or cancel the deal, pending changes to the auction for the company's CDMA and LTE wireless assets. Among their chief complaints: The $22.5 million breakup fee owed to Nokia Siemens, should Nortel sell the assets to someone else, and a term that permits Nokia Siemens to see competitors' bids. The creditors claim the rules unfairly handicap other potential bidders. Nortel said it had one other bid besides the offer from Nokia Siemens. The Nokia Siemens deal is expected to close in July, pending other offers. According to reports, Nortel's creditors want the auction to last at least 15 more days in the hopes of generating additional bids. Flextronics heads the major US creditors committee. The EMS firm makes a reported 70% of Nortel's equipment.

Printing Screens Revisited
Research continues on improving printed frontside silver conductor line efficiency.A simple Internet search will reveal the photovoltaic industry is working hard on higher aspect ratio frontside conductor grids as a route to greater solar cell efficiencies. This is because the conductors, typically screen-printed on a cell’s frontside, block sunlight from reaching the energy converting strata below, and the narrower they are, the less shadow they cast. However, as it is essential they...
