Serge Tchuruk, Alcatel’s Chairman, answered his own rhetorical question on the call as to why these two behemoths should merge:

“The first key, to be amongst the best in the capability to innovate in products; not only in products, also solutions and services.

The second key, to be amongst the best of the lower-cost players. In other words, the market is so competitive that even if you have the first key and if you don’t have the second key, you cannot open the door. To get those two keys working, obviously scale and size can help. A combination of two very large players which individually have already gone a long way in meeting those two criteria can be a formidable winner. “
