@Ben Ortega, I would not discount Alcatel-Lucent too quickly: #1 in ADSL, #1 in Optics, #1 in IPTV, #1 in IMS, #2 in edge routers just behind Cisco, leading WiMAX and LTE and a pioneer in NGN. All these technologies have IP in their veins, and that is why telcos partner with ALU to transform their networks with IP.

ALU might not get the limelight that Cisco gets on IP, but we would not have broadband at home without the ADSL, FTTH or GPON technologies where ALU is #1.

ALU and NT missed the fundamental change in communications 10 years ago. They did not prepare their roadmaps for new communications (IP) and felt they could continue to squeeze revenue out of carriers using their dated solutions.

Let’s go into the future 10 more years. Where do you think the likes of ALU & NT will be? Alive, reborn, dead??
