As I understand the problem it is a pipeline problem. ASND gets orders on an as needed basis. CIEN had a contract that gave future visibility. T has put CIEN on the same purchase basis as ASND. So if that is true does anybody have feedback about the shipment of orders from CIEN to T during the quarter. That data might offset fears of lower revenues and their lack of visibility from not having a contract to point to for comfort. Anybody able to get the current sales or shipment data, truck loads from plant or similar guessing factors? Dennis
