Users are not necessarily investors so the dichotomy is not played up - they tout NBase, as they should, and note that they're traded under MRVC without a big to-do about the corporate name, MRV Communications. Where would Nbase be without investors? S.O.S. This is not aimed at you, Dee Jay. John LoBianco

Re: NBase also specializes in fiber optic communications and is one of the few single mode laser manufacturers in the country. This is an important statement. Remember the post a few weks ago which I explained about the difference between single mode and multimode? With single mode fiber, you can transmit much further than multimode. Furthermore, if GE has problem with transmitting over a long distance on multimode fiber, then single mode is the alternative (more expensive of course).

Dee Jay, what do you suppose they mean by "NBase is a $200 million company...." The market cap is more than triple that and the annual sales of the company going back 4 qtrs is $148 million. My guess is it's a typo because unless, I'm missing the obvious, the $200 mill referes to revenues and in order for MRV to reach $200 mill in revenues in 1997 they'd have to do $83 mill in the current quarter......
