Rob,

Does anyone know if it is because TEL is the dominant player here?

One would be inclined to think that TEL has outstanding relations with the FPD makers, since most(all?) of them are Japanese. And we all know the tight relations between Japanese cos. I can only presume that AMAT & LRCX were at a severe disadvantage in this particular market.

Maybe during the next downturn AMAT will acquire TEL:-)
