Ian, NN stated yesterday that is providing X.25 and FR over ATM.
Could be that lots of people did not misunderstood multiphase new deal with the last year digital network deal, which did not include 36170 switch.

Also Astle of ML did the same recomendation on NN several weeks ago,but if I remember well his price target was lower.
He may play game before option day ,or is more confident about NN(should have done it long time ago).
