Sonus's revenue curve will be choppy for some time, that's already in the mix for any long term investor.

I enjoyed the debate between you and Cooters re: the annuity model, but I think both of you forgot one huge aspect of what started the discussion, i.e., the fact that Sonus's management specifically expressed the idea that a shift towards the annuity model would be gradual. A lot can happen in the interim, including reversal of the idea and a shift towards more traditional ways of doing things.

It seems obvious to me that Sonus will benefit tremendously as more broadband facilities get installed in the US. Sonus seems tremendously undervalued.

It all depends on many things, i.e., the nature of the annuity, how long it would last, how it's measured on the top end or off the bottom line, etc.

I think it is safe to say that the annuity model is pretty much on the vaporous side of things at this point.
