Ian, I totally agree with you. I think if you think were the contracts will go to just read the way the Financial post has enumerated the companies: "Those are expected to go to one of the leading suppliers of ATM equipment for wide-area networks, such as Newbridge Nortel, Cisco Systems Corp. and Lucent Technologies Inc. Fore's strength is in developing ATM equipment for local area networks." FORE is a LAN ATM. LU has negligible ATM products and I think they are trying to make a couple of bucks the easy way ( courts ) by suing NN . Sort of like DEC suing INTEL!! If you can't beat em, sue'em mentality.Lawsuits is the American way of life.Everybody's got one. It will pass. I think NN having been through previous lawsuits is not stupid enough to copy Lucent's products. There is no question in my mind that Deutsche Telecom will go with NN/Siemens because Siemens IS Germany and nationalpride is involved.But more than that NN/Siemens have the best products. When the contracts start coming out , NN to US $40 fast and furious. I think Alex Brown used DD when it reccommended NN last week. All IMO, TA
