First, I didn't say WHY the deal happened (I don't know), I just corrected a misstatement. Second, if that is the case, doesn't it speak very well of FORE? Third, you can't have it both ways: deals that Ascend or NN makes are indicative of superior technology, but deals that FORE makes are just because of established customer base?? Seems to me that in the carrier space the reverse is more likely to be true.
