Tim, thanks for excellent situation analysis. I perceive the battle here is about marketing rather than technical standards. LU found itself in a position where customers were beginning to/threatening to migrate business to CIEN because LU had no appropriate product in this space. Their announcement is more defensive than offensive-it keeps current customers in the fold by reassuring them that the IBM of telecom can meet their needs in a reliable, low-risk kind of way.
