09:31 GMT WSJ touts Alcatel as a potential bidder for Lucent's Optical Fibre unit Shares in Alcatel (fr:013000) (us:ala) were 2.5 percent lower after a report in The Wall Street Journal speculated that the French telecoms equipment maker might bid for Lucent's (us:lu) Optical Fibre unit. The unit, which Lucent plans to sell according to press reports, is one of the biggest producers of fibre optic cable with 2000 revenue of roughly $2 billion. The likes of Alcatel and Corning (us:glw) could be interested in bidding for the unit, the Journal reported, which could be worth as much as $8 billion. \| \| \| \| NEWS/COMMENTARY MARKETS/DATA PORTFOLIOS News Alerts Market Pulse FT MarketWatch News My Profile Symbol Lookup Feedback Company Info Jobs Advertising Newsroom Corrections Editorial Policy Letters to Editor Partner Sites: www.FT.com CBS.MarketWatch.com www.FTYourMoney.com www.InvestorsChronicle.co.uk \| © Financial Times MarketWatch.com (Europe) Ltd. 2001 - unless stated otherwise.
