>>If companies like LU and CIEN are behind Osicom technically, then how come they are partnering with other industry giants such as C$CO and Osicom is not?<< I never said behind I infered lacking. That sort of teaming arrangement is what those Teclo vendors need to accomplish similar convergence as Osicom has in house. Your catching on now. Ciena needs a Cisco for data networking. Osicom doesn't, but still in other ways parnternships with those companies would be great for Osicom. >>Ciena is spelled with ONE n. You claim to know that Ciena's technology is inferior yet you can't even spell their name right.<< You negatives are so picky. Ok one n. Once again I never said Ciena was inferior, I simply pointed out they don't have the data networking piece of the puzzle to complete convergence. They can and will get it though. They will have to mimic Osicom as will all players in this new era. >>Obviously the market is NOT buying their products. Either they are inferior, they aren't needed, or they aren't priced right.<< You have argued many times that the Metro market is not quite here. As a defense for Ciena's lack of a metro product and to discourage Osicom investors. Osicom has no long haul WDWM. They had nothing for the market Ciena was selling in. It's a difference that is that simple and to draw that to infer that Osicoms product is inferior counters your own arguments about the metro market. So where do you stand on this now? >>The market has already arrived at the conclusion that Osicom is NOT believable, otherwise it would be priced accordingly.<< The highest rewarding investments all start out as hated and nowhere stocks. The cliche are endless, buy out of favor, buy when the blood is in the streets, be a contrarian. The market is inperfect, that's where profits come from. >>There is a saying, "you get what you pay for". If you scrape the bottom of the barrel with these penny stock hype schemes your chances of success are slight. If you pay up for companies like YHOO or C$CO when they are young it may seem expensive at the time, but there was a good reason the stocks were so expensive.<< Osicom is a high risk play, and I have never described it differently. I never gave those who come here crying about lost margin calls and sympathy. But it is not a hype penny stock scam story. You can't show me a true hype penny stock scam that has so many employees, that has highly technical products and engineers. This story is much different and you know that. Scott
