Spaceship Earth Sponsorship Change?

[DisneyHoneyMoon]

I heard on th Dis a month or two back that Lucent was now the sponsor of Spaceship Earth, or would soon be. Today Alcatel (french company) bought Lucent. Will this sponsorship remain or will Spaceship Earth be looking for a new corporate sponsor?

I don't believe Lucent was ever a sponsor, as a separate company. (I'm a Lucent "retiree" and I didn't have AT&T privileges when AT&T was the sponsor.) I believe the new sponsor is Siemanns.

thought it was Siemens that was going to be the sponsor....or are they all related??

Siemens is German - Lucent French. Siemens is also owner of Osram-Sylvania.

Yup, related -- they're competitors!
