LU would be an excellent partner. They already resell VNTV stuff. LU is definitely on acquisition warpath. LU has strong push into call center solutions.

This is a super cheap acquisition for LU, with its $85 billion market cap - the dilution is around 1/4 of 1%.

Big companies work in mysterious ways.

TD, I don't think the volume was high enough. The scop volume really jumped that Friday (I think it was a friday) before they announced the deal...

There was an article in BW (9/21) about Lucent's possible acquisition candidates. Though I guess anything is possible.
