Very good point. They, Bell Labs were actually one of the pioneers of 56K Technology with the K56 Flex standard. Now they have finally standardized on one standard called V.90. Since Lucent has a lot of different divisions...Micro-electronic, Data Networking, Wireless Network, Voice, and Optical Networking to name a few. These commercials bolster the Company and all of it's divisions. Also, I was just at a sporting event and Lucent was the major sponsor. When you walked in the entrance gate you were handed a diskette with a very nicely done multimedia screen saver of your team. Of course Lucent was prominently displayed whenever that screen saver is activated. This is a very competitive and cut throat industry, the quicker you get your name recognized as the industry leader the more chances you have of survival. I feel Lucent is doing a good Job on the Marketing side. And if people buy the stock because of the commercials and advertising Great! Mark
