Hi r. edwards. Wow, AVNX. You went back a long ways to catch George on that one, didnt you? Shades os Simon from another era, it seems. Today AVNX closed a nice deal with ALA, I believe. I'll fetch and post it if I can find it. Here we go, from Lightwave Mabazine: ------ Avanex, Alcatel ink 2-year supply agreement October 13, 2005 Fremont, CA -- Avanex announced its entry into a supply agreement with Alcatel, to be in effect from October 2005 through October 2007. The supply agreement calls for Avanex to continue to supply Alcatel with fiber-optic components, including active and passive components, optical amplifiers, and dispersion compensation modules and transponders, which are used in a variety of Alcatel's optical networking products.
