I wonder if it's really Clint? BTW, Alla Big Scam is trying to send you a message. Any names you want me to call him before I finally push the "ignore this person" button.

Also from Yahoo! An article on Optical Access "Laser Networks: A Cheaper, High-Bandwidth Alternative -- LASERS LINK LINE-OF-SIGHT BUILDINGS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS, WITH WEATHER WORK-AROUNDS" Excerpt: ""We needed to provide 100-Mbps Ethernet to a new office in three weeks so workers could access banking applications on servers at our main site, but we couldn't wait months for fiber," says Steve Wood, VP of telecommunications for bank Chase H&Q, a division of Chase Securities Inc. in San Francisco. "Installing laser dishes on camera tripods inside building windows was simple." Chase H&Q was already using point-to-point laser systems from Optical Access Inc. to link three closely grouped sites before implementing the vendor's new Optical Access Mesh package to connect to the new office and create a laser network." techweb.com

From your link to the "drifter" post on Yahoo: << I just heard from a friend who's a money manager that a few of the major I-banks that are underwriting the IPOs of both Luminent and Optical Access are going to initiate coverage of MRVC with strong buy ratings. My friend expects this new coverage to be announced before the pricing of the Luminent IPO. >> Aren't the underwriters also subject to the same quiet period as management, that extends to both before and after the actual IPO?
