WSJ coverage of Vienna sale at: interactive.wsj.com One has to wonder if Terry is getting value out of his affiliates that would not otherwise be realized if NN was put up for sale. Should be an interesting next few months. Ian. Article closes with the comment: Meanwhile, Newbridge's share of the world-wide market for high-speed asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM, switches has been showing signs of leveling out over the last several months, while competitor Cisco Systems Inc. has seen its share increase dramatically over the same period. Cisco, which replaced Newbridge as the ATM market leader, has been building up its sales force in this market, and benefits from its ability to offer customers a greater breadth of products than Newbridge now has available. Voice and data-networking companies such as Lucent Technologies Inc. have been stockpiling promising technology and forming key alliances, and analysts say small and midsize makers of telecommunications equipment will have a difficult time remaining independent. Newbridge, in fact, has been rumored to be acquisition bait.
