Alcatel: contract of 400 MF with the Motorways of the south of France time-out PARIS, 24 March (AFP) - Alcatel have gain a contract of 400 million of franc (61 million of euros) near Motorway of South of France for the supply of a network of telecommunication in fibre optical turn-key, have announce Wednesday the equipment supplier of telecommunication ih/aml I just attended a telecom conference in SG. ALA was with LU the main sponsor. But they did a bad job. I was very upset. The italians that came promoted the 'old way' of doing business and were hammered by Ciena and co. I hope that thy will never repeat that again. Tchuruck has a lot of work to change the mindset of the executives. They have the technology. Even LU admitted that ALA was the first to introduce equipment that would provide 40Gbps link in the fiber. LU comes second. The others are still working on it. But theway they sell their technology is a disaster. Well, Ihope that next time they will send another team.
