How much stuff is it? What does $500M buy?

To whom indeed are they selling and what are the buyers doing with it?

You should investigate this closely like I have and I think you're going to be disappointed by what you find. It is bad enough how it is being used, but it's worse that trying to make it work so that you can work it profitably is proving to be intractable. The core of the problem is multiple color management over multiple endpoints. Keep it simple up to what exists electronically and its ok. Wander into added value land and the problems and their costs rise non-linearly with throughput. Perhaps at the square. None of this is particularly unknown and I've read plenty about in tech journals and on SI.

CIEN is in a strong uptrend and so that suggests the buyers are gradually working out the initial bugs. Why not invest in CIEN?
