Here's an interesting parallel to the EMC-McDATA spinoff. "I could have a controlling interest in a components business for a long time and let that components business acquire other companies," Roth said........ .......Roth said he has told JDS Uniphase chief executive Jozef Straus that he does not want that company to be its only supplier for any products. "I'm not going to be sole sourced, so how are we going to solve that?," Roth said he told Straus. "He said okay, so we'll solve it, we'll figure it out." Roth said a separate supplier of some products may be the answer. "I want another company that makes parts (JDS) also makes," he said. "And if they've all disappeared, then I guess (Jozef) you have to license somebody to make some of those parts or something like that. You figure it out (Jozef), or I'll figure it out........."
