While I understand IT spending is down, I don't understand why there is not a glimmer of improvement yet. IMHO, you have to find a way to recapitalize the big telcoms in order to get the spending going. Q, T, NT, WCOM, etc are all up their ears in debt with no spending power. I understand that Q and T are dead in the water but IT spending is not confined simply to them. What about other corporations.....the industrials, insurance etc.? Why are they not placing orders......their business has been picking up for two-three months now? Besides, I thought the Qs and the Ts use mostly INTC's comm. chips. ted Perhaps some political move like a "program to get the nation wired for broadband" or something like that would help. I doubt with the budget running deficits again, there were be any support for this kind of program. It would be great but I don't see it flying. ted
