You are totally incorrect and you should read the posts from Pat Mudge to clear this up for yourself.These post are on the NN thread.Have a great morning. I think the reason for the halt is the fact that this was such a huge win for NN and there was an imbalance of orders on the buy side.

Hisham: From your many posts, I get the impression that you are quite knowledgeable about the Telecom Industry. I have a question that remains unanswered and perhaps you could help.If a Enterprise such as CHINAPOST is building a large Network in stages would it be normal for them to put out a RFP with a lot of Financial proviso's regarding credit Lines etc and a proviso for a single prime Contractor. If this is the case, it would appear that LU was the prime and the subContractors were ASND(EDGE switches), NN(Carrier class) and others based on a combo of technical and financial credits they or their Govt's could offer. If this is not the way large Networks are Contracted for, I would be thankful if you or anyone else could lay out a brief procedure. One last question. Is it mandatory for the same eqpt to be used in the follow on stages or do protocols allow for a mix and match as and when other stages are Contracted out. Thanks.

More sour grapes... I think Pat stated in that post that it was China Post that requested the comment "exclusive supplier". You and Bucky however seem to feel that NN is misleading. I don't know... when I read the ASND release I thought they had the entire deal. Fact is, they talk about the 9000 and yet may not even been delievering these things. They talk about the backbone and aren't even a part of it.... yet, the feeling here is that NN is in the wrong. I don't get it.... Sometimes the folks on this thread are so transparent. OG
