Kate, It's probably safe to assume NOT every participant on this listserver is going to have access to or have an interest in reading the USA Today news article you've mentioned so opinions formed and expressed based upon less than all the facts would be an exercise in futility.
Your comment about a leak from an independent test lab suggests that it originated from MET or AT&T whether it was or was not printed in USA Today. What I do know is this! A couple of years ago while working for an independent test lab, I had met the president of MET Labs for the first time. It's no doubt in my mind that even today the president and his staff are still the honest, courteous, genuine hard-working professionals I have come to know. Conveying suggestive opinions through the use of gossip is one of those unspoken truths that exists primarily out of ones need for grabbing headlines, hence, your message came to my attention and I have responded. However, I don't see where it is appropriate for this discussion. Regards, SJK Question: If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent??

It talks about an "anonymous" email being sent from Lucent in NJ to CNBC and Tellabs, alleging problems with test data for Ciena products. The article says that the products were at that time being tested by AT&T and Metlabs, and it also says that the email may have helped scuttle the deal betwen Tellabs and Ciena, and drop Cienca's shares by 85%. Apparently, Lucent is investigating all this internally. I would have a hard time believing that such a leak could originate in an independent lab. It really is a very serious situation.
