Steve, actually, I think your points are well-taken. When I said "but it doesn't seem that difficult to me to simply guarantee Alcatel and others that there will be no price increase for 18 months," I didn't meant that they should do this in a public forum. Basically, what I wanted to convey was that this should not be something that prevents the merger, that JDSU and ETEK could find a way to make a deal to eliminate this bump in the road.

The public statement I want ETEK/JDSU to make is simply a reassurance to us stock-holders that they are still serious about making the merger happen. The stories coming out suggest the deal is in more danger than I think it is, and it would be nice for the management to provide a balancing message (e.g. We will address Alcatel's concerns insofar as they are warranted). This is more of a personal desire than a formal statement about what management "owes" the market.
