Re: What does that mean? I'll take a stab at it. I work for Marconi. We make FTTC equipment. Bellsouth would like to have other vendors is the field to offer us some competition. Now granted, I don't work for that division of Marconi, but this is what I've picked up from talking to people here. Of course, I've yet to hear of any large scale deployment plans of our products (or anyone else) by any of the ILEC's, which is irritating. The beg the FCC for rule changes, and then still refuse to actually do anything. Oh, and as far as SBC's balance sheet goes. I've heard (from SBC employees I know) that part of the cash flow issue with SBC was due to them spending big $$$ to get into the Long Distance business and it hasn't made them very much money. |
