SBC's November 3,1999, press release stated:
"To implement Project Pronto, SBC will work with six primary suppliers: Advanced Fibre Communication, Inc.,Alcatel, Lucent Technologies, Newbridge Networks, Nortel Networks, and Siecor."
SBC used the word "primary," and does not necessarily refer to the dollar amount of any part of the contract. It is my opinion that "primary" merely means that, in total, these guys will get most of the business, but no one knows how the contract is allocated. Will NN get $100 million of the total, I don't know, but you are obviously making that assumption. |
