Get serious, Ahhahaha please. You're a real comedian. Cost of DWDM has been falling steadily, that's what caused CIEN to drop to $8 not too long ago. NT, LU, ALA have saturated DWDM market with cheap solutions. Cheap DWDM is good for GBLX, like cheap memory is good for DELL, get it? You also mentioned today that soon one fiber is all you need to carry trans-ocean traffic, but now you're saying "Broadband is stifled. It can never work because physics of optics won't let it unless the world's people want to pay exorbitant rates for it", are you the same ahhaha or are you a group of ahhaha's? Coherent communications is much desired. If longs have guts to average down on quality stocks, why don't you short more on companies you think will bankrupt?

Thank-you for your response. I read some of that attitude being expressed between the lines. My enthusiasm for the internet and all it promises unfortunately does not lend me any particular technical knowledge. I read and assign some meaning to the jargon, but, honestly, after 24 years my husband harbors doubt that I understand electricity. (g) SilkRoad, huh? Well, off to do more reading.

You said, "Since SR is being avoided at all costs GBLX and many other companies are nothing more than operating bankruptcies. LVLT knows this and is trying to hatch the SR technology. The proper venue for such an effort is none other than the entire resources of Lucent because the practical side of SR needs a great deal of intense work. That won't happen as long as LU can waltz to the bull market band..." Well then, can Silkroad get it done soon alone, or does it need the help of a Lucent to get off the ground? Would you say SR will soon prove to be a "disruptive" technology? Dan B
