Schnauser,

"He (Ajit) said that after the denselight buyout, the industry people were all jealous, that they understood where this is going, and poet got the prize for a song. (Suresh had said that the mergers were easy because the denselight people had the identical vision: complete market disruption thru optical integration)."

This is an extraordinary insight in your extraordinary post!!

I took Suresh's reaction to the question of when the integration process would be completed differently than you did. I thought it was more like, "Oh, geez, you guys know I can't answer that question here and now." I like the ramifications of your interpretation better than mine!
