JDS, Corning interested in Lucent's fibre

Reuters News Agency

The potential sale of Lucent Technologies Inc's optical-fibre business is drawing strong interest with several companies angling to make bids that could range from $8-billion (U.S.) to $10-billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the paper said Corning Inc., Alcatel SA of France, JDS Uniphase Corp. and Italy's Pirelli SpA , among others, already had informally expressed an interest.

The auction process has not officially started, but Corning and JDS had gone so far as to make pre-emptive offers to buy the business, the paper said.
