Kenneth, Maybe you should have taken one of those openings on Gore's legal staff. What the article clearly states is that Nortel and other legacy equipment purveyors are combining their legacy equipment sales with their DWDM sales and calling it all "state-of-the-art optical networking". Kevin Slocum has unmasked the entire scam. The misrepresentation is nothing more than a slick marketing ploy to project an image of market dominance when such dominance, in fact, does not exist. Nortel's North American market share of real state-of-the-art DWDM optical networking is only 4% vs Ciena's 37%. We have been down this road several times, yet you continue to fail to see the facts. Sonet is dying, and companies that sell that stuff have market exposure. Investors who buy their stock have exposure. Caveat emptor. Jack Hutchison
