Today CC was very bullish.One analyst had a problem to believe( he said WOW!) that revenue growth is increased to mid-35% and the bottom line will still growth twice faster. This is despite components issue. alcatel.com worth to look at major points of presentation optics + internet products (outside Newbridge which contributed only one month) grew 47% excluding internet optics grew about 70% including slower growth optical cable. When compare apple to apple ( without cable) it was more 70%. Of course not up to NT 150%, but much faster then Lucent or Fujitsu. I expect RSP 670( 50 gig IP/ATM) to make real headlines soon.....
