    In that era, someone else in the telecoms business would have gone to China for production to compete with Nortel.

    Results likely wouldn’t have been all that different.

        Can you explain? I’m not really good at catching the subtleties of language through text.

        IMO the commenter is not at all close to getting it because the Canadian firm would have patented their innovation and produced it in a country that has the kind of IP laws they expect, so their innovation would have reaped a great reward instead of getting copied and put them out of business.
