Ian, unfortunately what is not being discussed as muchÿ perhaps on our board is that TM's decision to sell hasÿ thrown a giant monkey wrench inside theÿ " big telco's " plans ( LU, CSCO, NT, SIEMENS, ERICY, ALA ) because with NN on it's own there existed a certain equilibrium amongst them. But if NN gets added to any one of them then you will have a giant tipping of the scales in favor of that new union;for example CSCO + NN or NT+NN, etc. So I believe there is furious planning right now in the board rooms of all these 5 or 8 companies to decide how They are going to meet this new threat.
Meanwhile, may I suggest that all you have to do is to just get yourselfÿ a large serving of popcorn, a nice glass of beer , a good easy chair,ÿ sit back,ÿ relax and enjoy,
TA

ÿÿÿÿÿÿ TA,
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Reading that Yahoo post caused 2 thoughts:
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ 1. Keeping NN away from CSCO would have substantial value to LU, NT, ALA, Siemens or ERICY. With this technology and the keys to the doors of 350 of the ÿÿÿÿÿÿ world's largest Carriers, ISPs and enterprises would be of enormous value in turning CSCO into a formidable competitor against LU and NT.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ 2. Perhaps I should change my opinion of the Yahoos. Not likely, but keep bringing quality posts across, and I might be persuaded.
ÿÿÿÿÿÿ Ian. |
