Is now the time to buy the companies that will be offering all this wonderful bandwidth and services for sale?can shift their focus away from nearly completed network buildout and more toward filling their networks with sizeable and profitable traffic, especially as the need to meet investor expectations will only grow more intense from here. >>I wish I knew, JDSU CEO say baloney to it. I have been basing my whole thinking of how the market will play out over the next few years, if not this decade, on promise of broadband as the foundation of the next big thing. This concept of a slow down and supposed glut, has blown holes in it all and is delaying and stopping the momentum I thought that was building. You see, I feel we need the broadband to justify the PC that are coming out now. We need broadband so new and exciting software can be developed. We need broadband so we can have interactive TV. We need broadband so the distribution of CDs and movies can be done by getting them off the trucks, out of the bricks stores, and out of the mail, to being downloaded in bits and bytes. The list goes on and on. I can't wait around for years as they slowly bring broadband to the masses.
