Optical companies will be the big thing in 2000
from the lets-cast-an-optical-spell-on-the-stock-market dept
Forbes is making a prediction that Optical networking companies will be the B2B's of 2000. That may well be true because of the massive amounts of information that will have to be transported at cheaper and cheaper prices but these optical networking companies already seem to be in the race. With several companies that seem to be establishing themselves as players in this market, such as Cisco, Nortel and of course a plethora of start-ups. It seems that any start-ups will be bought out before hitting the street.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
