	Fool.com: Lessons From Lucent (Special Report) January 13, 2000
		Lucent is the former Bell Laboratories, the research and development arm of AT&T that has spawned such telecommunications technologies as the T-1 circuit, digital signaling, and the Private Branch Exchange (PBX), upon which the majority of office telecommunications environments are currently run.
		Lucent is seeing this convergence of voice, data, and Internet eat into its incumbent market as voice is only one component part of the new generation of networks.
		All in all, not only did Lucent fail to manage its cash position to the detriment of its current shareholders, but also the analysts, whose job it is to serve as watchdogs for just these types of financial deterioration, did not notice or chose to ignore this problem.

	Boston.com / Business / Technology / Facing a fund gap
		Lucent Technologies' population of retired workers has grown so large over the years, there are four retirees for every active employee on its payroll.
		Lucent said healthcare expenses for all retirees this year will be $800 million, up from $539 million five years ago, and it already has raised premiums for retired managers to rein in those costs.
		Lucent may be a telecommunications company, but it has much in common with mature industrial companies that have slashed their employee base, which must support large numbers of retirees.

	Lucent hardball
		Lucent alleged that the Newbridge multiplexers included: two 1988 Lucent inventions specifying congestion control in packet networks; a 1990 Lucent patent specifying error-correction methods; and a 1984 patent describing Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM), a common method of encoding voice into 32K bit/sec digital streams.
		Lucent's claim of ownership for ADPCM is actually incorporated in the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) G.726 voice-compression and encoding standard, says Brough Turner, senior vice president for technology at Natural Microsystems, a Framingham, Mass., maker of Digital Signal Processor chipsets and computer-telephony software.
		Lucent's Greene says that long before September 1996, the company told the ATM Forum and other groups that as a general practice Lucent would be happy to license any of its patents, even if the company did not specify which ones could affect which standards.
