Ray- Thanks for posting the article.

For Alcatel it makes a great deal of sense to exit a business they can't compete in effectively. But one would think that it makes little sense for 3com to exit the business segment as the consumer market was it's claim to fame. No one on the consumer level even knows about Alcatel, but 3com it's just the opposite. Kind of a strange move to give up their consumer branding advantage over folks like Westell and Paradyne.

I was quite discouraged to see power in the senate turn over to the democrats. There were some bills in the works to really help create true competition in telecom world. Now I'm afraid those bills will revert back to the old "forcing round peg through square hole" method of creating competition that liberals normally push. Quite discouraging for broadband. Consumer broadband sure seems to be in a HUGE rut controlled by the ILECs more than ever before. -MikeM(From Florida)
