any comments on this from seeking alpha? "...Andrew Schmitt submits: MRV Communications (MRVC) announced the OptiSwitch 930, a 10G Ethernet demarcation box today. Demarcation boxes are designed to sit at a customer site to manage and monitor the interface between the customer premises and the carrier's network. While it is certainly a headline grabbing offering, I don't think significant demand exists for a 10G demarc device.

Once big carriers roll out software infrastructure that relies on the API and statistics from these systems, the cost for them to switch to a new vendor is high.
