<<I am short on anything involving france; its unpredicable government; and its poor performing businesses>>

So tell us what you really think of France. <G>

I don't want to knock the French any more than you but Alcatel really messed up big by buying DSC Communications last year. I'd bet on Nortel over ALA any day of the week even when NT is overpriced by 30%. <g>

Now you have gone too far,while I agree with most of your post what could be better than sitting in an outdoor cafe in Paris,drinking great red wine and watching the world go by?

"I read about the French are trying to lay an atlantic cable; the French will screw up anything due to too much wine;"

I hope your opinion is not as well-considered as that of GBLX management's. It is old news, but Alcatel was contracted to do $700 million worth of work on the South American Crossing:

The same way they did the Panama Canal.
