Unlike you I can read. The article - which I might add isn't a LU press release - says LU will "serve the new ION network" - not replace it. I suspect that means carrying long haul circuit switched telephony traffic which originates on an ION network with a destination outside the network. Notwithstanding that these are not announcements but only statements that LU is trying to win the business. LU is attempting to delay the market. Geez, could it be that LU/ASND still don't have a scalable IP/PSTN gateway product??? Anyway, you wouldn't understand. The point is that that is three mis-reads on your part in one day. Hee hee Ho Ho Ha ha .. Oh my...!!! Perhaps you should go back to consumer goods.... OG

Once again the mighty mouth knows not of what you speak. Cisco's participation in Sprint's ION service is only for the small business/SOHO market place with the MC3810. The balance of the ION equipment is provided by Nortel directly or indirectly (actually a FORE product). Cisco is also selling into this base as Lucent now says it it, but it would seem that neither has much of a chance as Sprint is "tied" to Nortel due to past "favors" that have control of Sprint's wallet share.
