LVLT is involved in providing internet and networking services. They do need fiber optic backbone. They have a 9+ Billion Market Cap Value, so they could take out CIEN for say 3Billion in stock assuming 30/share for CIEN is fair as NETTLES claims. Some posts on yahoo claim that LVLT is the mystery company "A". My question to you is "Why Not"
BTW, from what I have heard is that LVLT is run by some of those visionaries who were running WCOM earlier.

<<what kind of company lvlt is?>>

Lvlt is building a huge fiber optic system. There is a Level 3 thread on SI, if you're interested. I haven't been there today so I'll have to see if there's any scuttlebutt over there about this rumor.
