It had crossed my mind to ask the same question here. I too would be interested in knowing how others here feel about the potential threat, or if one exists. I look at the release with some skepticism. It's too much of a demonstration of what looks good on paper, what the principals feel readers want to see, and as a place holder reaffirming that the company is still in the game. IMO, the projected deliverables contained in the release are stretched out over too long a time frame, and diluted with partnering with too many entities. They (the deliverables) could potentially be rendered anachronisms by the time they would otherwise be addressed. Happens a lot these days. Other comments? By the way, in an earlier release of the story, I found this clip to be interesting: The projected US$5billion investment over the next five years integrates next-generation optical, packet and fiber technology to deliver lower-cost, innovative services globally. GlobeSystem is based on directly fusing optical wavelengths to routers and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) platforms as well as new network intelligence that enables customers to define their service parameters on demand. Anyone care to enlighten me, or speculate, as to why they are using the term fusing, or what it means in this context, where lambdas are involved? TIA, Frank Coluccio
