I found someone keep posting that Bay would go to teen level. I don't think so, even without these acquisition rumors, bay still will be hold above $20. I think probably we will not see $22.5 again.

Bay & Ericsson - I notice from the attached press release from Ericsson that Ericsson lost one of their suppliers when LU purchased Yurie. If Bay is purchased by another telecommunications company, they lose another major supplier. Ericsson Press Releases ERICSSON TO PROVIDE TURNKEY SOLUTION FOR SPLITROCK SERVICES Date: May 04, 1998 Ericsson Inc. Network Solutions Division has signed a contract for a turnkey project with Splitrock Services, Inc. to expand their national ATM network. This contract is for the first phase of a multi-phase project that will create the world's largest ATM based multi-service network for Internet and other telecommunications services. The network solution provided by Ericsson comprises packaged points of presence (PoPs), turnkey project management and multi-vendor systems integration. Equipment components of the PoP nodes are provided by Ericsson, Yurie Systems, Bay Networks and GFRC. The systems integrator role complements Ericsson's renowned turnkey project management capabilities. Ericsson's overall strategy for network solutions is to offer open and flexible Telecom "Carrier Class" solutions for datacom and IP networks that are based on integrating world-class components provided by a combination of in-house development and co-operation with best-in-class suppliers. "The unique turnkey support provided by Ericsson will enable us to reduce our costs, improve our performance and provide an infrastructure for additional services while reducing our time to market," said Bill Wilson, President, Splitrock Services, Inc. "The Splitrock project is an excellent example of how our strategy to integrate best-in-class products from different vendors to provide a solution on a turnkey basis can be used to enhance our offering towards internet service providers and network operators," says Gary Pinkham, Vice-President Business Development and Data Networking Solutions for Ericsson Inc. Splitrock Services, Inc., founded in 1997, is based in The Woodlands, Texas. Splitrock is a 'Carrier's Carrier' providing network services on a wholesale basis to Internet Service Providers.
