<< On this point does anyone know if CIEN has good relations with the LVLT (Level 3 Communications) crowd? They'll be starting their 20,000 mile IP network in the 4th quarter and ought to be on a bit of a shopping spree with their $2+ billion in cash. >>

I'm not sure CIEN will get this business. If there is one complaint I have about CIEN it's that I don't hear anything about their WDM being compatible with OC-192.

A lot of the newer networks out there are operating at OC-192 I believe. Maybe Tim knows better than I. I know QWST and others are using OC-192 from Nortel.

I want to see CIEN offer OC-48/192 WDM capabilities. I'm tired of OC-48 table scraps. I notice that LU has OC-48/192 compatability in their new WDM offerings.
