Michael, I'm sure all Ciena followers appreciate your post. It is insight such as you have posted that reinforces ones conviction regarding an investment in this company. I firmly believe that the Ciena announcement on the T metro contract merely shows the tip of the iceberg. I believe there is more underneath. Much more. Ciena is the only company that can offer a complete end-to-end systems solution. Furthermore, this solution is of much more desirable open architecture, and contains best-of-breed technology across the board. No other vendor even comes close. I fully expect to see further announcements forthcoming on additional contract wins with T on the CoreDirector, the Metro K2, and long haul MultiWave Corestream. Is it any wonder that Ciena continues to hire, while its competitors are firing staff, slashing prices, losing market share, and falling further behind Ciena's technology lead? The significance of this contract win cannot be overstated. It signifies that Ciena has arrived as the optical networking gorilla. Jack Hutchison
