This is all my own opinion and wishfully thinking.
Westell may be the primary vendor to work with Alcatel, and the others may be secondary vendors. Westell may have cut a deal with Alcatel,....either get some business or no business. With all the DMT chip set delays and a slow ADSL roll out, their is no way Westell could compete against Alcatel, LU, Cisco, Seimens, 3COM or any other HUGE company at this point in time.
Here is a list of reasons why I think Alcatel may buy out Westell.

1. Alcatel/Westell/BA DMT maybe
2. Alcatel/Westell/BT DMT maybe
3. Alcatel/Westell/BC DMT maybe
4. Alcatel/Westell/JPC DMT maybe
5. Alcatel looking to buy two US companies.
One small and one medium.
6. Alcatel needs a US company for political relations to help with a US rollout of their ADSL system,.....maybe.
7. Westell using Alcatel DMT chip set.
8. Alcatel sells their T1 product line,.....maybe because Westell has a T1 product line.
9. Alcatel is a cash rich company and their stock is low. Buying Westell may help Alcatel's stock to go up,....( BIG MAYBE )
Again this is all in my own opinion.
