Nortel eyes possible bankruptcy protection: report

Nortel eyes possible bankruptcy protection: report

Nortel Networks Corp. has sought advice regarding possible bankruptcy protection at the same time as the besieged technology company is asking Ottawa for financial help, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The U.S. paper said Nortel is not planning any imminent financial filing but has engaged different professionals to make various plans for the upcoming quarters. The Journal cited unnamed people familiar with Nortel's situation as the sources for its story.

Nortel, which makes technological devices such as optical communication switches, has been losing money for years and is facing decreased sales as the global economy slows.
