<<In all, the strategy sounds loopy. With all due respect to the technical team at MRV, how can a small cap that's been making fiber-optic parts for most of its life suddenly become a valid Cisco challenger by leveraging a radical software technology into a product niche that may not even exist, within a market (telecom) with long buying cycles and conservative standards? Crazy. Still it's audacious, but the focus on BGP and programmable networks is certainly with the times.>> Does he think Linux Router is all MRVC has in the networking arena? Or that we "suddenly" become a network player? This is just one product among many. I'm glad for the publicity though. << What's more, MRV reportedly has several other gigabit products in the works, including a piece of equipment for cable networks that's similar to products offered by Redback Networks (RBAK). That might add some broadband luster to MRV's stock. This should be one of the more interesting sagas to watch. >> I love that word "several"! The word "luster" ain't bad either! <g> Hey! I just got post 15,000!!!!
