Together, both companies could be a major force in the industry. I have heard the corporate cultures are very different. It would be akin to the JDS to Uniphase merger. IMO, it would be really, really great to have it happen: there is great synergy in their products, and no major conflicts. If they do not merge, SDL and ETEK will each be a distant second to JDSU. Their marcaps differ by about 8 or 9 to 1 at the present time. This ratio has been increasing, not decreasing. A merger would catch it up, and the synergy would put it on a fast track to parity. The real question is: why it has not happened already?
