Please tell us who the others are crying poor regarding the tip of the iceburg starting to show. I know CIEN got burned for an amount insignificant compared to this deal but can you tell who the others are? By the way, did Cien get burned by a company with backers as strong as the people backing Aerie Networks? Can you also tell us if these deals invloving "other companies" were 100% financed or were they were only 50% financed like the NT deal is? Please tell us when you feel the optical buildout has matured as well. Do you feel that copper will be able to offer all the services that telco's plan to offer in the future?
