>>slashed prices in order to gain market share Isn't this a strategy that MRV itself has been using effectively for the last several years?

I disagree with you 100%.MRVC actually has revenues and earnings. Ancr had a product they couldn't sell.If memory serves me ancr had a fibre channel product for layer 1, nobody else had a product like that.Brocade had a product for layer 2 as did several other competitors but ancr had the only product aimed at layer one,and the bottom line was there wasn't a market for ancr product.I don't believe ancr ever had revenue of more than 2.2 million in any one quarter.Ancr never had a pe, never had earnings, to compare the two is ludicrous.Apples and oranges.
