Good points Steve. >> ALA's motives are not necessarily pure as the driven snow! Agree. If they were, I'd think they might be inclined to support, or at least not object, to the merger on the grounds that ALA needs fiber optic components as well as other companies. JDSU claims a good way to do that is to acquire ETEK. However, your point re: ALA's desire for market share would be a motive for them to complain -- it must out-weigh their desire for FO components. Also, JDSU has two separate / independent teams of attorneys look at the merger beforehand. Both teams returned favorable responses, indicating there wasn't grounds for the DOJ to deny the merger. If ALA's only whining, let's hope the squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease in this situation.
