You seem hopeful that LU can eclipse their debt and continue forward...but do you believe that is likely? Those product offerings seem outdated despite the fact they are 'new'. Why would anyone invest in new telco equipment when there seems to already be too much capacity? I know the old argument, "Well, buy this equipment for X million dollars and it will save you so many cents per transaction over the next twenty years". The current environment does not seem to support these types of forward thinking investments. Its more like companies are looking for ways to reduce debt and ongoing ops expenses, true?
