Nortel files for bankruptcy
 

Nortel Networks Corp., North America's biggest telephone equipment maker, filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, hoping to save a once high-flying business whose decade-long decline has accelerated with the global economic crisis.

The filing marks a crucial stage in the slow deterioration of one Canada's most prominent companies. Nortel, a stock market darling before the tech bubble burst at the start of the decade and still one of the country's largest employers, has struggled for years in an industry that has changed radically since its heyday in the late 1990s.
