Article on Optical networks and ATM: "HFC has long been considered the lowest-cost solution to bringing fiber capacity close to home; however, in the last year or so, several fiber-to-the-home initiatives have been initiated, including the full-service access network consortium of Bell Canada (BC), BellSouth (BLS), GTE (GTE), SBC (SBC), NTT (NTT) and Telstra (TLS). These full-service access network members, with about 310 million lines (roughly 45 percent of all lines), have agreed on a passive, optical network design that uses the Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Similarly, SBC Communications recently announced plans to spend more than $6 billion to build out its broadband infrastructure. SBC's Project Pronto includes 12,000 miles of new fiber in metropolitan areas to support high-speed DSL service." upside.com ( click : next steps at the bottom of the each page to move to the next page) Raj Srikanth is a managing director and Alex Barros is an associate analyst in equity research with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. in New York.

Ok folks, how about a time out? Bad enough to wade through insubstantiated "my stock's bigger than your stock" chest beating. Worse when it degenerates into name calling, tattling, threats, finger pointing at finger pointers and other prattle, justified on the "you did it to me first" basis or otherwise. It's depressing to see adults engage in behavior barely tolerable on the playground! CSCO iconifies much of the "new economy", which is exhibiting characteristics that defy traditional analysis. As such, a discussion about CSCO is fertile ground for diverse opinions. But that doesn't mean the thread should degenerate into mere organic fertilizer, or that otherwise valuable contributors should soil themselves publicly. John .
