Glen,
You are right, price per port is coming down because the cost per port to Ascend ( and everyone else for that matter) is falling. That cost saving is past along to the end user. There is only a 1% decrease in margin expected this year. The biggest change in this years business model vs last year is a sharp increase in R+D spending. Because of ASIC chips technology we will see a continued trend of lower price per port this year but margins remaining roughly stable.
