Any thoughts on the news of SLR acquiring SMOD? It seems it changes or enlarges the EMS business and nature of outsourcing business and will be a challange for the JBLs etc. No longer will we be talking about primarily assembly, supply based management using global facilities but also SLR will have a lot of design/technology services capability and this will be added to their total service. Will this put others at a disadvantage, both other ECMs and more particularly what becomes of the OEM design groups if this service can be outsourced too? And wouldn't this greatly increase the outsourcing trends and business?
