It sure is. I remember when Alcatel was just coming into the market with its digital cross connect switches, competing with the Lucent DACS IV. They were good, after the bugs were worked out. But who would have thought 10 years or so later they would be buying Lucent? Not me that's for sure.

Just another case of a company getting too big for their britches and the little guy comes along and gobbles them up.
Europeans run their companies a lot differently that US companies do. They are a lot more efficient and therefore, make a lot more money.

The french did a royal mess buying Universal Studios and unless it is non-french executives running whatever they call it, AT&T will be able to buy it for 20% in four years.
How much did Renault lose before Fiat came to their rescue?
I did Patriot Day early along with another 150 members of the United American Committee. osama ben lauden was hung in effigy across the street from the king faud mosque, one of the mosques that had people helping two of the 9/11 hijackers.

So...does this mean that we can finally support that Alcatel system that one of our customers has (the only reason we can't support it is that we know nothing about it, cannot get into programming, etc.) In fact, we called India, France, parts of the US to find someone who could help...the were ready to have us rip it out and replace it with an Intertel system...to think we only went up there to replace amps for their paging system....
