Mark,

That rumor is pretty stale. It has been around since 1997. Cisco had their chance to buy Ciena when the tlab merger failed. Cisco cited numerous differences including culture, geography, and Ciena's "commodity" product line.

Management has made its position clear. They are not interested in a merger, and they want to go it alone. They can and they will.
