>>What does everyone think?<< I think you're right. CIEN has good products and they have buyers of technology not counting AT&T. It would help to have TLABS as a customer source, but CIEN is still good with going for the 2nd tier telecom players. Another words, they can service the non-AT&T and WCOM, and still do well. Plus, they will pick up help along the way. Road may be bumpy, but at this price it seems a reasonable risk to take. joe

<What does everyone think?> I think this is a chance of a life-time. I bought in big today. I expect TLAB to step up and buy CIEN after all and if they back out, CSCO may use this as a 2nd chance to get back in. Even without a take-over, this is a solid company with great upside. Cheers, Peppe
