Nortel to create 5,000 jobs in global expansion

NEWS Nortel Networks is to expand its optical networking and components business, spending $400m and creating 5,000 jobs worldwide. Part of the expansion will see close to 2,000 new jobs in the UK at its Paignton, England and Monkstown, Northern Ireland campuses.
