Saturn, re: "The old line telecommunication companies have excellent technology, but are used to the stability and the predictability of the old world of communication. This unsettling era has them confused and unsure of which way to proceed!" Their biggest problem is that their customers are up to their teeth in debt, their customers product is selling for ever decreasing prices, so their customers stopped buying their products. They are companies built to thrive in a high growth marketplace. I don't know if the growth will return, I've heard good arguments on both sides. re: "This is an ideal situation for new startups or a new predator like Intel, which has been hardened and toughened by the the brutal and incessant competition of the chip and microprocessor business !" AMD? re: "I agree that the communication foray is a gamble. However Intel is one of the few companies which can afford to take the gamble, and have a reasonable chance of success." It's a gamble and Intel is wagering the stock price. John
