I love this comment:-
``In today's SONET networks, ordering and provisioning a basic data circuit from New York to Los Angeles takes months. Given that level of pain with even a simple circuit, talking about value-added services is almost a waste of time,' said George Peabody, managing director of telecommunications research at the Aberdeen Group. ``Customers want bandwidth in Internet increments on Internet time, provisioned within seconds, and with a Web tool to reconfigure the service themselves in real time, or with the bandwidth allocated transparently by a router based on traffic type and a service level agreement. The first carrier to do that is going to scare the heck out of the competition. CIENA's service enablers are the class of tools carriers need to get the job done.'

This is a new paradigm - CIEN is one of the leaders and DOES NOT HAVE AN INSTALLED BASE OF SONET to protect -
