Geez, who we kiddin !?!?! I used to think that the technology
would win out eventually.. specifically the EPC. I figured that
the value of the intellectual property was going to eventually
win out over the scare tactics used by the shorts. Well, while
Osi has award winning technology, the repeated lapses in ...
judgement ? Integrity ? do not exactly give one the feeling
of confidence that one gets reading statements from, say,
a Chambers of Cisco ! A short quote from myself earlier...
"It's the technology not the fromage that counts" ... in response
I believe to Auric's referring to FIBR as a"Cheesy" company.
Well, this long is gettin hurt here. And it ain't Auric
and company doing the damage. The growing validation of the EPC technology by industry awards and contract wins has been obscurred
by a series of outright gaffs that are simply stunning in the
sense of Managerial incompetence they convey.
Harlock will pay as much attention to management as he does
to technology in the future. Auric, you reminded this thread
about this point some months ago.
By the way, these are the famous "Widgets" aren't they ?
Noone wants to lose a significant chunk of revenue but
really, the Widget (OK, Palra) was not going to be one
of FIBR's more important offerings. In other words,
the revenue loss hurts... but not nearly as much as
the scarring of what had been a recovering
credibility.
Maybe someone (CSCO, LU or NT) will go shopping. Hey, Protocol
transparent Metro DWDM ! Getcha Protocol transparant Metro DWDM heah !! It's on sale this week heah, all week, right heah !!
Excuse me, Mr Chambers ? Mr. McGinn ? Mr. Housse (I know, that's not spelled right)? Save our ass if you please. |
