Thanks for the comments S. I am also expecting to hear more from GTE and I too take them at their word -for now. WSLT just reported they also seem to be pushing things out a bit. But from my vantage point DSL is real and gonna hit the market by storm. I just hope Orckit does'nt get taken out before it reaches maturity :) For what it's worth here are some ests from first call.
