Hints about Phase IV.

Now, he's in the middle of Phase Three, the production boost
that he plans to complete by the end of this year. Kalkhoven is
staying mum on exactly what Phase Four is, though he's dropping a
few hints. For starters, it's based on his expectation that 1
billion people will be using cellular phones by 2003. That
proliferation will place new pressures on telecommunications
networks and feed demand for optical components.
Beyond that, he'll say only that Phase Four requires JDS
Uniphase to make new acquisitions that will carry it into another,
unnamed industry. If nothing else, Phase Four is enough to keep
Kalkhoven busy.
``I always tell the story of my Uncle Max,' he says. ``He
was the guy who gave me his sage advice as I left Australia, which
was, you never leave a party till the booze runs out.'
Clearly, at JDS Uniphase, the tap is far from dry.
