Ibexx, I think the risk is diminished. First, through diversification the risk is spread over several product lines. Second, I think that there is a much greater chance of successfully selling a product at a decent price when the customer realizes that your financial strength gives you a certain degree of pricing power. Finally, the use of TLAB marketing people and Tellabs credibility in the marketplace will make it easier to sell Ciena products. This is not to say that the risk will disappear. But I think that the risk will be substantially lessened. TTFN, CTC
