Kenneth, Be carefull what u wish for.... lightreading.com Corvis: Time to Come Clean? ....Broadwing and Corvis’s most recent announcement on this score was on August 21, when Broadwing declared that it had succeeded in transmitting 10 Gbit/s over a distance of 4,000 kilometers using Corvis’s ultralong-haul DWDM (dense wavelength-division multiplexing) equipment (see Corvis Drives 4,000 Kilometers... ). Since then, Light Reading has been told by a Corvis competitor with connections in Broadwing that this distance record was achieved over a single channel. The other DWDM channels weren’t in use. If this is the case, then the trial wouldn’t mean very much. The same source also alleges that Broadwing didn’t have any 10 Gbit/s test equipment at the time it conducted its trial, which raises questions over how its success was established. Corvis and Broadwing couldn’t find anybody to comment on these rumors. At any rate, there are still plenty of questions to be answered, and until they are, investors will continue to confront a conundrum. Millions of insider shares have yet to be unlocked since the IPO, meaning that customers, venture capital investors, and company executives such as Huber have not been able to sell their shares on the open market. Williams has already announced its intention to sell some of those shares when the lockup period expires, which is expected to be in January.
