Yeah, and I bet lot of that 1 billion run rate is coming from Pirelli/Cerent acquisition. I don't see any organic growth in optics --- in fact I can't recall any major optics contract EVER awarded to CSCO! Gary keeps quoting this phantom 1 billion run rate but all the research indicates CSCO is not even registering on any market share analysis in the optical field. I am with you Zo.........only REAL contracts that are EXECUTED where you don't get kicked out (Sprint, Telia...heheh) should count -- everything else is a PR spin. Chamber is very desperate to try & bootstrap CSCO into a real player in the Carrier market as that is where the networking moolahs will be generated and the enterprise routers will become marginalized/commoditized like PC's and Modems!
