hello kenneth, the ny times article said "nortel is considered the world leader in equipment than can transmit 10 billion digital bits per second." and that:
"some analysts wondered ... whether Nortel's pursuit of Qtera bespoke a Nortel weakness."
"The thing that grabs me is why Nortel's making this investment in a space you would think they own." said Frank Dzubeck, president of Communications Network Architects.

Perhaps it's lu's nov 10 announcement of ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing: 1,022 wavelength per optical fiber to transmit 37 Gb/s, almost 4 times faster and wider bandwidth than Nortel - and scalable to OC-48 - or
several TERABITS (trillion bits)/s.
i asked seth schiesel, who wrote that article, why he wrote Nortel "is considered" the "world leader" in fast transmission, given lu's announcement. he said, "they ship more product." i forgot to ask him his source. i think he's wrong. anybody know? j
