I guess the "old architecture" vendors must have opened their fortune cookie and read the old Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." They will adapt or die. People won't put up with a busy trunk line signal. Teleco's will have to invest or buy more capacity. I think that means Fiber.

On another note, Agilent may be an interesting play in this sector also... "Agilent's communications products include fiber-optic communications devices and assemblies. This rapidly growing area generated revenue of $1.6 billion in fiscal 1998. As noted in our story, "The Next Big Thing," Agilent (then referred to simply as NewCo) has a strong position in fiber-optic components, as well as in software programs to help engineers design optical networks." smartmoney.com
