So you think the 5 year leases and their perception of when convergence will occur on IP are synched? Hmmm. I guess anything is possible. Also could be that the 5 year lease is a delay tactic... in other words they may believe that convergence on IP will happen sooner and so to delay acceptance they offer 5 year leases on legacy systems. If you read Simmons comments she is saying that she believe technologically convergence won't be ready... again I suppose they can be synched...but also could be a concerted effort by LU to delay delay delay.....
