potential upside surprises in telecom equip sales? throw in a weak dollar... notes from a SB analyst:
TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Alex Henderson

Census Bureau Suggests Conditions Remain Strong

*The US Census Bureau released its M3 data with information about shipments
and orders for the telecom sector data through the month of May. The census
data has been a useful predictor for revenue performance in our sector.

*We believe the data confirms that conditions in the June quarter remain
strong and should show a seasonal uptick in revenue for the equipment
vendors.

*Equipment shipments for April and May were up 5% compared to the first two
months of 1Q, but down 6% year over year.

*New orders for April and May were down slightly compared to Jan/Feb and
flat relative to the year ago period

*The industry Book to Bill ratio remained healthy, coming in at 1.06.

*Reflecting normal linearity, we expect the majority of the acceleration to
occur during the month of June

*We continue to rate the Telecom Equipment industry Market Weight
