re: Ericsson Makes Packet-Optical PlayI'm sure NT's bankers and execs and the people long the stock are floating ERICY speculation as often as possible. But in my mind it would never happen to acquire product lines. I'm sure NT's product engineering process stumbled along and fell in a ditch long ago with the layoffs, reorgs, brain drain, low morale, and program underfunding that has to have been status quo at NT for the last 7 yrs. ERICY **could** buy NT metro for the customer accounts and market share and the patent portfolio. But the ERICY metro product programs led from Sweden are likely much more sound and this NT product would not drive the NT buy.
re: Ericsson Makes Packet-Optical PlayI keep hearing ERICY is one of the big guys in the talks of aquiring the NT MEN product line. This looks to be a competitive box - no?

How about Packet Optical Reconfigurable Network?
We could also form the
Optical Packet Transport InterConnect ALliance.

Another option is Packet Optimized Optical Platform :)
This naming game is fun.
