Moonray, I wonder how SIEMENS is doing in light of Alcatel's warning. Alcatel reported slow down in sales, but it's because they relied to much on Russia and E.Asia (at least that's their excuse). I would think that SIEMENS wouldn't be in the same situation, but I'm looking to verify this. Our first step was to secure 3Com as our technology partner for VOIP, and now Siemens completes the equation by providing us with world-class SS7/ATM backbone capabilities that are fully integrated for IP-based telecommunications services. Siemens, 3Com and USA Global Link form the real-world foundation of a dynamic vision for advanced global communications services." I interpret the statement above as COMS wanting to have a presence in the backbone area. Some of COMS critics might reply, "how can a modem company producing mostly commodity items be involved in the backbone area". I guess they will learn when it hits them in the face.
