2/19/01 - NORTEL NETWORKS: Nortel Networks extends long haul DWDM market lead in North America, RHK says Nearly doubles market share, strengthening leadership position in optical Internet Feb 19, 2001 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Nortel Networks has substantially increased its lead in the North American long haul DWDM market with a 61.4 percent share as of year-end 2000, nearly double its 37.1 percent share one year earlier. These estimates are from a new optical market study recently released by RHK, a leading telecommunications research firm. The study also ranks Nortel Networks #1 in the North American metropolitan DWDM and SONET market, and is consistent with similar reports recently published by IDC and the Dell'Oro Group. "Nortel Networks continues to take market share, outpace competitors and exceed industry growth in the strategic optical networking market," said Greg Mumford, president, Optical Internet, Nortel Networks. "No other company is as well positioned as Nortel Networks in today's market. Our all-photonic, IP (Internet Protocol)-based strategy represents the future - a new, high-performance Internet significantly more powerful than that we know today." Optical technology is enabling explosive advancements in communications, creating opportunities on an unprecedented scale for vendors, Wall Street and private investors alike, according to RHK. Although the RHK report covers only North America, Nortel Networks is also showing significant momentum in Asia and Europe, applying its optical networking expertise to a broadening global market. Last week, China Telecom awarded Nortel Networks the largest single optical contract ever in China.

Kenneth, Are SDLI shareholders going to sue JDSU now that their stock is 1/2 what it was when the buyout deal was made? It would appear lawyers are the only ones making money on Wall Street.

"Yesterday, Mr. Roth said a routine meeting with sales managers last week forced the company to alter its financial forecasts." Somehow this doesn't sound right. Suppose I were a salesman for a large corporation and I suddenly notice that halfway into the quarter that my numbers are off by $1 billion dollars. Do I wait for the next ROUTINE meeting with my supervisors to advise them of the shortfall or do I get on the phone and dial every extension at the company to find out what the f%#& is going on? Like I said, somehow that statement just doesn't sound right. Vince
