HLIT's Lightwire with AT&T Optics Explode The next wave of optical network equipment promises to take the technology into the last mile Excerpt "AT&T, having spent over $100 billion to acquire cable television companies Tele-Communications and MediaOne, is only too mindful of getting the fiber closer to the subscriber in order to deliver a richer set of voice, data and video services than those currently supported by the hybrid fiber coax network. AT&T’s LightWire system, which is currently being piloted in the Salt Lake City area, extends the fiber closer to subscribers. According to AT&T, it supports all current services (video, data, telephony) and provides an envolution path to very aggressive bandwidth. LightWire, the company claims, expands the total bandwidth of the coax plant to 1 GHz, triples the upstream bandwidth and, over time, will increase upstream bandwidth by a factor of 10. Additionally, it improves network reliability, reduces the number of active components in the network by 60 percent—consequently cutting power consumption in half—and supports all industry standards while future proofing the network for emerging service demand." telecommagazine.com

stockgater: you and one other person (maybe Stockhawk) had questions regarding hlit recently. Sorry for taking so long to respond. I am still on vacation in Ireland where I've been travelling with my family for several weeks. I haven't been following the market closely (one of the benefits on G&K investing) so I can't provide much of an answer. I understand from the news reports there have been several class action lawsuits filed against the company regarding the merger with Divicom. I don't know more than that. I'll be back in a week and a half and will look into it further. Eric
