<<I'd be happy with about $1 billion, even if spread out over several years. No need to be greedy or anything. But I'm guessing that the competition for any such investment would be intense.>> Yes, that would be VERY nice. Right now ASND has a BIG advantage with the GX550 being 6-12 months ahead of competition. The only OC-48 capable core ATM switch on the market (to my knowledge) is ASND's. As I posted earlier, the TIMING of this lead is key, coming just as major next-generation networks are being developed, and the competition (Williams, et. al) beefing up their networks, at this time. Hopefully, there is something for ASND in tomorrow's announcement.
