You will enjoy reading this article about Optical "Upstarts" and "Old Farts"

pathfinder.com

For Cisco, acquiring was the quick route to success in the optical market, so it swallowed hard and paid the price. (Nortel, too, is buying in to supplement its line of optical products. Lucent, by contrast, is looking to develop its optical systems in-house.)

Old Farts: Cisco, Lucent, Cienna, Nortel

Upstarts: Alidian, Corvis, Optical Networks, Redback, Sycamore

My bias is naturally with the "old farts" <g>
