Last week's trivia answer

I'm based in France, but my CEO is an American woman. I'm the product of a merger between a French telecommunications company and an American firm, and you'll find Bell Labs under my roof. I'm a leader in fixed, mobile and converged broadband access, among other things, and I am one of the largest innovators in the communications biz, with a portfolio of more than 25,000 active patents spanning virtually every technology area. My research ranges from optical networking to nanotechnology, algorithms and more. I employ 79,000 people in more than 130 nations, serving businesses and governments. Who am I?
