<<I researched this once before and the irs had some pretty stringent criteria- it had to be at least an 80% owned sub and had to be in operation for at least 5 years in order to qualify as a tax free spin-off.>>

certainly, that would include Luminent....it's totally owned by MRV and is the largest revenue generator for the company. if their was a spinoff, i can't imagine why it wouldn't be tax-free.... of course, that could be a mute point.
