How the hell do people like this make it on TV? This has got to be the most idiotic comment I've heard from the media so far today. The reporter probably extrapolated from the following comment from today's CC: - More specifically, each of our 980 nm pump businesses is unique. JDSU's chip business is better suited to non-grating stabilized applications such as short haul uses and SDL's chip business is better suited to very high power grating stabilized applications. I think the term "reliable" may have been taken wrong. SDL's fiber Bragg gratings make the pumps more reliable at the speeds in question but this should not reflect in a negative way on JDSU's that are used in a different environment.
