<<The Asian crisis has only begun! The full effects won't be felt for a few more quarters. Can we assume that in a few quarters COMS will have declines of 10%-15% in Asia? Looks to me like it's not zero growth from Asia, it's declines from Asia.>>

For consumer companies this could well be. I read of some poor Koreans donating their Gold wedding rings to the government - anything to do their part in times of crisis. They aren't about to rush out and buy a COMS modem to connect to the Internet, are they?

However, enterprises, governments and infrastructure companies realise that communications technology is a key to their future. I think spending will continue - maybe not huge growth, but continue it will.

ASND could get 0 growth in Asia, while COMS sees declines, IMO.
