agree. Koog, I know you believe the switchover to photonics is far off, but IF the industry actually is planning major changes within the next year or so and those hinge on using Lightwave's technology, would you expect Lightwave to be an active member of the OIF involved in setting up standards? Or is there another industry-wide group that is more influential for setting up optical standards?

I just found it interesting that they touted it as important in their 2018 PR, and then within a couple of years they dropped out...wondering why?

From their website:

OIF is where the optical networking industry’s interoperability work gets done. Celebrating 25 years of effecting forward change in the industry, OIF represents the dynamic ecosystem of 140+ industry leading network operators, system vendors, component vendors and test equipment vendors collaborating to develop interoperable electrical, optical and control solutions that directly impact the industry’s ecosystem and facilitate global connectivity in the open network world.
