Chris, Company "X", as you are calling it, seems very weak considering that the New Lucent can compete with it in the Enterprise with IP solutions out the wazoo. Comments??

The negatives as I see them are:

1. All of Netcare stays with Lucent

2. Stinger stays with Lucent

3. Lucent free to compete with new company especially through Netcare

4. No provision (yet) to dump employees from new company.

5. No indication of whether any of Bell Labs personnel will be coming to the new company.

6. No indication of which patents will be reassigned to new company

Positives are

1. New company is free to go on an acquisition spree like buying 3COM and JDSU.

2. New alliances in the wireless arena are possible

3. Web based supply chain initiative similar to GM/Ford initiative with CMRC and Oracle is essential to give new company large market cap for acquisitions.
