Pat, Understood. However, I don't think there was any promises around the ALA partnership...although I could be mistaken. I think that they walked down the path together and decided that they could't "live together". As for GTE, well, I could share stories. Let's just say GTE is not an organization that moves at light speed. CIEN is still in play. Who knows. 'eh?! OG
