Add to that uncertainty all the regulation/deregulation debates going on still in Congress... It seems that the current political momentum is on the side of the larger carriers/RBOCs. I see that as an additional slowing of the overall capex number. If the established guys aren't motivated to change by the law or survival they aren't going to spend any money that they don't have to. I think the writing is on the wall, there will be no revival in the stocks of NT, LU, etc for the foreseeable future. It's my bet that we are close to historic lows so quiet accumulation over the next couple of years performed opportunistically is probably not a bad bet. Won't it be funny though if the old circuit switched networks continued to be expanded and become somewhat of a cash cow business as packet switched networks fail to deliver on projected capex savings... This could be a good bonus for the likes of Alcatel, Siemens, NT and LU... I'm not sure that is the way the future may unfold but it seems to mimic the buying patterns of the big boys.

Oh, pullleeeeease! I have been out of NT for about a year and half now (if my memory serves me correctly) and am evaluating carefully for my re-entry point. You were selling in April (only 8 months ago). Message 15715368 The people who read this thread have a right to know that you know absolute shit about this stock. You've been a reliable contrary indicator of mine for a LONG time. It's pathetic how you portray yourself as being on the right side of this play in 1984ish type revisionary posting. Your memory "serves" you correctly in terms of keeping your ego in tact. That's about it though.
