<<With such a combination, they would be a fully end-to-end networking equip. vendor, just like CSCO -- but with superior technology in far more arenas than CSCO could claim. It would be an interesting proposition.>> From COMS perspective - Yes. But what about from ASND's perspective? They could acquire THE LEADER in FE/GE in MRVC with almost no overlap. They could acquire VoIP or VoFR from ANET (now depressed) or a similar company for not much cost. This would position ASND with superior technology in far more areas at less cost and with less baggage.
