TP, Yes, this is painful. The quarter was pretty good, but the guidance is tough. An interesting point from the press release was the substantial reduction of a major foreign project. This has to be the Saudi wireless project - expected to generate $1.7B this year. This has been a problem account for years, and perhaps the new CFO decided not to agree to the financing terms. If a big piece of this business is gone (probably to Ericsson), it would explain alot of the reduction in guidance for the rest of the calendar year.
