After Nortel's earnings report, there was speculation that Nortel was taking wireless infrastructure share from Ericsson. ERICY is out with their earnings which are very strong in wireless infrastructure growth. It does not appear that Nortel is taking market share from them. Wireless is extremely strong. biz.yahoo.com

PERSONAL OR CORPORATE BRIBES....? It seems straightforward enough that a startup company would woo a major supplier with its product and the opportunity of equity, would you agree? Does it seem equally straightforward to you that the CTO of the major supplier would take advantage of the decision making power of his POSITION to feather his own nest? If the second example is OK in your books, then I say the hell with buying shares in the company, because the self-serving company officials will look after their OWN interests so much that there will be no value left to the shareholders..... Best wishes, Jim

tpboxster While I don't profess to know anything about ONI or their IPO, it may surprise you to know that not everyone is sleazy. Some people will actually not participate in scams, schemes, underhanded maneuvers or unethical behavior even if it is legal. For some people even the appearance of a conflict of interest is enough to have them disqualify themselves from making a decision. Any company that allows an employee to receive bribes allows that employee to steal money that should be the shareholders. This may be a difficult concept for some to accept but it is true. GR
