<< Your stuff about the other products is interesting, but I won't really be impressed until I see a large order comparable to Brooks or something. >>
I hate to break it you but Brooks hasn't bought squat. Your getting the cart ahead of the horse.
<< IBM could be beta-testing its muxmaster for all we know. The small companies would definitely announce a large order, right? >>
Did you read the article I posted? It gave real world examples of the IBM Muxmaster in use. What's this baloney about beta-testing? IBM's Muxmaster was introduced before the Gigamux and is installed. Call IBM next week.
<< I looked at the press release again:
As a result, Brooks is now extending GigaMux trials and deployment to other larger cities. >>
Listen to the conference call again. Management told a different tune. Management was probably trying to con you into believing that Gigamux was depoyed. It was obvious that they were trying to word it to make you beleive that but they didn't want to get into trouble.
<< Doesn't this imply that Brooks is deploying the Gigamux? >>
Believe me, if it was deployed in the network carrying live traffic there would have been a press release and management woud have mentioned it 6 zillion times in the CC. Instead they stuttered, stammered, and avoided the question when asked specifically. Basically gave you the runaround. In fact they avoided most all of the questions in the conference call. I heard very few direct answers to people's questions. Go back and listen. At least 3 times I heard people say that their question wasn't really answered. Some just kind of gave up on trying to get a straight answer.
<< Here's a thought that you might actually like Craig. It has to do with the stealth alliance Osicom has created and your competition theory. Osicom supposedly doesn't want to announce who they're working with because they will now be able to charge more for the Gigamux while banking on the multi-billion dollar company's brand name. >>
So they are admitting that their name carries no weight in the industry and they have to resort to selling it through someone else? CIEN didn't have problem marketing to their first customers Sprint and Worldcom.
<< Well, if Osicom is truly the only product out on the market >>
FOR THE LAST TIME IT IS NOT! Who cares if it is? The short-haul market is just finally starting to develop. If it's so hot how come FIBR isn't announcing huge orders with insatiable demand?
<< Everyone should know that whatever multi-billion dollar company is selling a Metro DWDM product has to be selling Osicom's Gigamux, right? >>
I suppose so. Precisely why they sounded foolish for not telling anyone who it was.
<< My theory is that Xin Cheng (sp?) knows that there are competitors out there but dismisses them because the Gigamux's technology is better. >>
Yeah right. Just like FIBR's products are better than A$ND, COMS, C$CO, CS, BAY, MOT, LU, CIEN, HWP, etc.
<< This may be true, but I'm a person who likes to know the truth >>
You don't want to see the truth.
<< A brand name company will be able to sell a product of less quality than Osicom. >>
Why do you think that is? Why would companies buy inferior products rather than do business with Osicom?
