quick look at COMS numbers - COMS - gross margin 45% to 50% - Sale&Mkt ~ 25% - R&D ~ 12-13% - Admin ~ 5.5 to 6% if compared to asnd/csco - gross margin is a big difference as coms is more in the low end, BUT coms still has other numbers that are in the same range as asnd/csco, and MORE SO that the ADMIN is way too much; asnd and csco only used 3% for ADMIN and for 1B$ that's a lot of mooney. So, imo, coms needs to cut/reduce/work these % numbers to match appropriately to the gross margin % that is somewhat 10% less.
