GARY---GOOD EVENING ---TO respond to the first item this is copied from the WSJ AUG 12 --- There is another large factor that affects Lucent's acquisition strategy, however: The company can develop data-networking technologies in-house through its vaunted Bell Labs division, allowing it to pass up another company's technology that might be ready to market but not meet Lucent's rigorous standards. As one Lucent executive put it recently, "When you own Bell Labs, it is hard to say you couldn't invent it yourself if you needed it." Until NT bought BAY it was my understanding they (BAY ) were partnering with LU in the router business . I am not impress with the market reaction to the NT / BAY merger ----down 20 % before today --- I just want LU not to overpay and for it to be accretive . The price for ASND seems high ( they do have good products ) BEST WISHES BILL
