Random musings: Could this Tellabs/Ciena deal have been more poorly handled?

If you had to set out to sabotage Ciena, I don't think you
could have done a better job of it than Tellabs did. It reminds
me of that aborted Dun & Bradstreet IRIC deal earlier in the
decade, the one IRIC took years to recover from. That one
was stopped by antitrust, this one by failed business deals.
Nevertheless, the effect was equally devastating. The miss
at Tellabs had every communications company scrambling,
but it had me buying, as I don't think Tellabs' problems
portend a slowdown in this industry...
