Ascend is about to turn into a rattler if you catch my drift!

<<If news on the Williams contract was so positive (which it appeared to me to be) why such a muted response by wall street Yes, I think 13% of ASND's 1997 revenues in one contract on the 2nd trading day of 1998 from an unexpected source is that positive - don't you? Give the market time for this to sink in - remember, all the lemmings are still spouting the negative line. This is about to change, dramatically, IMO - as soon as someone tells them all about it, like on Wednesday. << ? ASND was up nicely in the morning and could not hold its gains.>> So what?

Williams contract and CBX550 Seems like this news has not been released by asnd and maybe the reason for the muted response from the streets. CBX 550 with 100G of switching capacity and OC48 support is the only available commercial ATM switch (reasonable price range) at this performance level. At 100G, it has 5 to 10 times more switching capacity compared to its nearest competitors. If competitions could not comeup with comparable ones, CBX550 will take a major share of future WAN ATM SP, RBOC, telco mkt.
