NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

New York Stock Exchange LLC (the 'Exchange' or the 'NYSE') hereby notifies the SEC of its intention to remove the entire class of Common Stock (the 'Common Stock') of Nortel Networks Corporation (the 'Company') from listing and registration on the Exchange at the opening of business on February 2, 2009, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 12d2-2(b), because, in the opinion of the Exchange, the Common Stock is no longer suitable for continued listing and trading on the Exchange.  The Exchange's action is being taken in view of the Company's January 14, 2009 announcement that it, together with certain of its subsidiaries, voluntarily filed for creditor protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in Canada as well as in the United States under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the Company was below compliance with the NYSE's minimum share price standard.

1.  The Exchange's Listed Company Manual (the 'LCM'), subsection 802.01D (Bankruptcy and/or Liquidation), states that the Exchange would normally give consideration to suspending or removing from the list a security of a company when an ‘intent to file under any of the sections of the bankruptcy law has been announced or a filing has been made or liquidation has been authorized and the company is committed to proceed.'

2. The Exchange, on January 14, 2009, determined that the Common Stock of the Company should be suspended immediately from trading, and directed the preparation and filing with the Commission of this application for the removal of the Common Stock from listing and registration on the Exchange. The Company was notified by letter on January 14, 2009.

3.  Pursuant to the above authorization, a press release was immediately issued and an announcement was made on the 'ticker' of the Exchange immediately and at the close of the trading session on January 14, 2009 of the suspension of trading in the Common Stock. Similar information was included on the Exchange's website.

4. The Company had a right to appeal to the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation the determination to delist its Common Stock, provided that it filed a written request for such a review with the Secretary of the Exchange within ten business days of receiving notice of delisting determination.  On January 14, 2009, the Company indicated in an e-mail that it formally waived its right to a hearing relative to the delisting of the stated Common Stock.
