Doug:Re:" Where did LU's lost earnings go since they haveÿ
not been given to anyone else?ÿ "

This is what my homegrown grapevine tells me they went to:

They went nowhere. That is true.
I think because after the MCI/LU debacle/disaster/catastrophe

the telcos are frozen stiff:


-They will not touch LU/ASND ATMs with a 50 foot pole.
-CSCO has no core ATM to give them
-NT has no core ATM to write home about.
-they'd heard something in the grapevine aboutÿ
ÿ"theÿ FCC wanting us tobuy this ATM stuff"

ÿÿ so they are sittingÿ and waiting; no ordering.
-looking at NN's gear,ÿ " weÿ heard about the new 50/450 butÿ
ÿÿ not approved yet/still in trials; then can we depend on NN
ÿÿÿ to execute? Let's wait ".

- " all this new photonic stuff from LU or anyone else is stillÿ in the early mode.
ÿ We cannot build a network instantly on it.We'll wait ".


So everybody in Telco, after the FCC change and NN trnsition phase isÿ
...... sitting, and...waiting.....no ordering...

They are now watching the ALA/NN mating dance......

.....Will she..won't she....will she.....won't she........

I am 90% certain that they will mate.

Stick around for the finale,

Z.O: When LU tanked, I stated that the growth of earnings in the Telecom sector had peaked.
In fact,
no one was able to pick up the $1b slack that was a shortfall in LU's revenue.

LU's earnings for the next Q have been reduced to 22c;
but those lost earnings have not been given to anyone
else.
Where did they go.?

The market is subject to many forces. Take over spec has
assisted NN in reaching this valuation. Most will agree that
there is some correlation between the take
over noise and price. Lately,the take over noise has not
been able to drive the price any higher.

It could be wise to decipher that.
