re: Access Is In I'm curious as to how many carriers (outside of Bell South) are planning on going to this year's Supercomm show?

My sense is that there will not be that many due to the economy. Anyone else out there have any info?

Should I plan on spending my week at Buckhead?

re: Access Is In Just go the Supercomm website and see the list of exhibitors. As far as attendees from these carriers, it is tough to find out.

re: Access Is In Interesting that Zhone wasn't mentioned in the Access is In artical. They are supposedly at SuperCom, but they haven't issued any press releases since February. Perhaps they laid off their PR guy.

How much of that $500 million is left?

re: Access Is In Remember - Zhone has laid off most of its designers, engineers, technicians, engineering managers and anyone that was critical to further develop Nortel Networks access product line.

What Zhone did keep were useless folks that do nothing except fly back and forth between California and Atlanta and occupy office space - people that contribute little or nothing to the product line. True Zhone did keep a few quality engineers merely to cast an image to potential "and foolish" customers that the product
is moving ahead? These few people effectively "sustain" what they can with the
dying product.

Where did the 500 million funding go? If you were sitting in front of a campfire and burning $10.00 bills at the rate of 1 a second 24 hours a day
you could not have eliminated the money faster. Zhone does not need engineers, customers, venture capitalists, or investors, Zhone needs investigators to figure out where the money went.
