jg, You must be a fan of LU. Since when does a start-up re-invent the wheel? There was nothing radical or new about the Omnia box. The people there were good guys, not industry gurus or experts. I give them credit for pulling one over on Ciena. That is it. Your understanding has nothing to do with reality. It must be a nice world that you live in <g>. Do you have any more insults that you would like to throw at me? You are right that determining market direction prior to innovation is the key and is exactly what I said. Engineers do not determine market direction. Customers determine market direction. If Omnia had a good group of technical marketing and sales people (at least some that understood the direction and needs of the networks being built at the time), the box would likely have been different. My handle is fine. I know the people at these start-ups. you read a sales piece put out by CIEN. Nice research. tp
