>They [Ciena] were completely blind-sided by this announcement.

Serry, I read about this about a year ago in Byte magazine. I'm sorta surprised that the market didn't already know (or pretended so). Regardless, you can bet that Ciena and Lucent both know what each other are up to.

BTW, Fujitsu has 200-channels going in their labs. Even so, I think 16-channel will remain dominant for some time, not 80 or 200.
