Competition The fiber-optic test, measurement and monitoring industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change as a result of technological developments and other factors. We compete with many different companies, depending on product family and geographical market. We believe that the main competitive factors in the industry include the following: - product performance and reliability; - level of technological innovation; - product lead times; - product offering; - ease of use; - customer service and technical support; - strength of sales and distribution relationships; and - price. Generally, our competitors fall into two categories. The first category consists of global electronic test and measurement manufacturers, who complement their broad range of products with fiber-optic test, measurement and monitoring equipment. These companies include Agilent Technologies, Inc., Wavetek Wandel & Golterman, Anritsu Corporation Ando Corporation, Telecommunications Technique Corporation (TTC Dynatec Division), Tektronics, Inc., GN Nettest and Newport Corporation. The second category refers to niche companies in the fiber-optic test, measurement and monitoring industry. These companies typically have limited product lines and are often geographically limited in their customer base. Such companies include Santec Corporation, Photonetics, Inc., Fotec, Inc., ILX Lightwave Corporation and Kingfisher International PTY Ltd. We also face competition from JDS Uniphase Corp., an optical component and value-added optical module vendor that designs and markets its own line of test and measurement instruments.

ANYONE WANTING TO JOIN MY CAMPAIGN SPEAK UP NOW OR JUST LET THE AMERICANS (WHO DON'T NEED THE $$$) CONTINUE TO PROFIT OFF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES LIKE THEY'VE BEEN DOING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND OUR SOLID CANUCK HIGH TECH (AND INTERNET..SVNX ETC) IPOS.
