<<Also, this DWDM announcement might easily be explained away in that Williams simply chose Pirelli as its DWDM vendor, and therefore ASND didn't really have much choice in who they collaborated with.>> Or maybe LU keeps offering a lame 55-65 bucks to Mory, and he decided to go off and show LU that Ascend is doing optical networking and is doing it first. I haven't seen anyone else announce transparent trunking directly to fiber with no SONET or cross-connects. I think this is very big news. If this were to cause LU to come back and offer a 1 for 1 (at $80, with a HARD cap-and-collar), I will send Mory a bottle of Cos D'Estournel and offer to detail his car for him. What does worry me though is that I haven't seen posts from a bunch of the "regulars" in quite some time. Pat Mudge, Glenn, DJANE, the other Gary, etc. Did they all bail on some information ? I hope not. jww
