Pardon me, Mahesh, but would you or anyone else here have a current breakdown on the number of digital and optical-digital cross connects sold over the past two years? LU, TLAB, NT, ALA, others? Thanks. Regards, Frank Coluccio

Mahesh, what worries me about these statements is whether rbocs are really moving to fewer suppliers. Lucent would benefit if this were to happen. The article and my real question is whether anyone has any facts that either prove or dispute this trend of moving to fewer suppliers. Articles are hard to believe because the writer may have a hidden or not so hidden bias. I suspect there is some truth to the statement on consolidation, but I personally doubt it is any major shift.
