You mean LU plays dirty don't you? As a matter of fact I just lost a lot of respect for a guy I know who works in Mergers/Acquisitions at Lucent. I felt like he was a little creepy anyway, but now? Well? It'll be interesting to get his responses to a few questions the next time he's in town. Aloha, Mike PS: If AT&T and Lucent are in bed together it still warrants a switch of long-distance carriers. Just my little contribution to the felling of a giant.

David and All, Don't you think that the very act of making a public statement that so-and-so was no longer being considered in the trial is odd in the first place? I don't know of this taking place anywhere else, except, perhaps, in government bids, where disclosure is mandatory. Also, does a company the size of this carrier ordinarily eliminate its options in negotiations with a top-tiered player, with such absolute and can't-go-home-no-more declarations? Since when does a company evaluating product make such a public and irrevocable statement? This is curious to me, indeed. And frankly, I don't think we've heard the last of this one yet.
