[Huber] <<< The rules that decide which broadband medium will be regulated by whom, over which part of its length, and toward what purpose, seem to have emerged from a sausage factory operated by a fractious band of intoxicated butchers. >>> Does the guy know xDSL????? Is the Pope Catholic? It's bad enough he writes a book a week, but to have a sense of humor, too. Sheesh. . . But, listen to the guy! "Fractious band of intoxicated butchers. . ." What a magnificent use of the English language! You gotta love him. Later -- Pat

[Lucent and Alcatel press] Alcatel reorganizes: newsalert.com <<<The business telecommunications environment is witnessing the accelerated convergence of voice and data communications. Companies increasingly expect their platforms to be able to transmit and manage voice and data as well as Internet traffic. Here too, telecommunications liberalization and the Internet boom are acting as catalysts in creating new needs. Customers, whether they are banks, large corporations or operators, are looking for end-to-end communications and networking solutions integrating voice, data and multimedia. These solutions require sophisticated software and high-quality services. . . . >>> Lucent names new director of French unit, emphasizes importance of its market outside US: newsalert.com <<<PARIS, FRANCE - Lucent Technologies has appointed Michel Rouilleault as managing director of TRT Lucent Technologies. Rouilleault brings with him 20 years experience in the telecommunication industry, as well as a record of strong leadership in managing global business growth within this dynamic marketplace. Rouilleault joins Lucent from the telecommunications division of Companie des Signaux, where he was executive vice president. With 70 percent of its market growth opportunities outside the US, Lucent is working to better position itself for that opportunity. Lucent recently named Ben Verwaayen chief operating officer responsible for the company's international businesses. Rouilleault will support the domestic and international business needs of telecommunications service providers in France, a key market for Lucent. In this new role, Rouilleault will be responsible for Lucent's marketing, sales and services for France's network customers. He will report to Eric Van Amerongen, president and CEO of Lucent's Europe, Middle-East and Africa (EMEA) region. "Michel's extensive experience in France's telecom industry is an invaluable asset " said Joe Colson, Lucent's president of international regions. He has worked with both Alcatel and France Telecom in building, leading and managing their global businesses in a rapidly changing industry. Michel Rouilleault brings with him 12 years' experience with Alcatel, and five years with France Telecom. At Alcatel, Rouilleault held several management positions in the area of transmission and was most recently vice president of the Private Mobile Radio division on a world-wide basis. Prior to joining Lucent, Rouilleault was executive vice president for the Telecom Division of Compagnie des Signaux. "I'm looking forward to joining Lucent Technologies and serving our expanding French customers with a truly global offering, supported by our most prestigious research engine, Bell Labs" said Rouilleault. >>> I still don't know Lucent's ADSL plans and would expect something out of them eventually. I can't imagine them letting Alcatel take over the market without some attempt to defend their turf. I'll check out Alcatel at Comdex and see what I can find out about deployment, chips, take-rates and so on. Later -- Pat
