this company has configured Cuparq for 95% downstream throughput and 5% upstream
30mbps x.95 = 28.5 that leaves 1.5 mbps up which is plenty. Since Embarq is faster it doesn't need to be symmetric. Also since Embarq delivers HDTV and VDSL2 doesn't it seems to acomplish a major missing link which is HDTV delivery.
It took Ikanos over $125 million to effectively produce and market its industry-leading products. It recently went public to raise a similar additional amount. If Rim had that kind of cash, they could possibly compete. They don't. As such, it would be virtually impossible to bring a comparable product to market.
It was nice of them to open the eyes to this for us on their dime. What do you mean? We are at market now.
Can the leadership and sales force get the job done? Why or why not.
Not without a buttload of money. Furthermore, there is no "sales force", unless you consider one person to be a "force". I don't.
Are you kidding me...LOL This is the eaiest sales job ever. It is matter of taking orders and asking how many.
Will standards be an issue.
This is probably the biggest issue if there actually is a tech. They have admitted that their product is not standards-compliant. Of course, I already told you that. Noncompliant hardware just doesn't sell. Customers are not willing to completely rebuild their infrastructures, which a noncompliant technology would require. This is a deal-breaker. Their only hope is to solicit a standards change. Ikanos did it with VDSL2, so it can be done. But, it took Ikanos 3 years to do it, and they had a shipping, tested product when they did it. Count on no sales until then - if ever.
Proove this beyond your opinion
Is a gofernment contract still probable.
It never was. The government only buys products that exist, and unless you are Haliburton, the contracts are competed openly. Contrary to what has been posted here, neither this company, nor any other company, has any kind of inside line to government contracting. Furthermore, the government includes in all of its procurements an analysis of "ability to perform". Rim has no product, nor will they have one for quite some time if ever. The government does not buy "future products" they buy stuff that is available now. That is a simple fact that I have explained to you many times. I have a great deal of experience with government contracting from both sides of the fence. The fact that RIM even alluded to this possibility is further evidence of their dishonesty. Do a little research on government contracting. Research GSA. Do some "good" DD and you will understand what I am talking about. The GSA red-herring was pure PR fluff and means nothing.
What a crock of crap this is. When did you become a Government buying expert. Is it the same place you learned about HDTV?
What kind of influence do both Tan and Wojcik have with target customers.
Who knows...Tan has that hair growth thing. There's that.
"There's that" what? I noticed that Ray in his picture is a little short on hair supply.....did you ever think that is why they got Tan??? Or maybe is it because he developed the DSL network in ASIA?
Also, the majority of people who are negative here, have not visited the Rim office, nor have spoken to anyone at Rim or anyone on the Board Of Directors for probably 2 or 3 years at least. Nor have they been to a shareholders meeting in the last 3 years. If you call that good DD, then that shows how clearly you are thinking.
"Good" DD consists of cirtical evaluation of the *facts*. I did speak to Ketch, and the last time we spoke, he told me a bald-faced lie. Part of "good" DD is knowing when the company is blowing smoke, and which things to take with a grain of salt. One day, I'll do a little research project and dig up some of your "conversation with Brad [or Ray]" posts. I perused them the other day. Not a single thing that you said that he said would happen has happened. Apparently, talking with company shills is not the great DD you think it is...
I am pretty sick in tired of you calling Brad a liar. You cannot proove he is a liar. On the other hand within minutes we can go find 20 to 30 times that you posted on this board and have lied or shot from the hip on things you know nothing about. Furthermore it is tiresome how you continue to attack Cobra. The guy is one of the most down to earth honest people around. He certainly wasn't telling people how to think like your group does day in and day out.
