William Harrison – Signal Hill Capital
Quick question on the prepared remarks you had on China talking about some of the, your customer, some of the infrastructure there that was a little weak this quarter, could you elaborate a little further on that. Was that more of sort of second half slower then first half or is there some deployment plans that they have been slower to move to or so forth.
Ted Chung
Yes, I think the answer to that question I think the first comment you made about first half versus second half, I think at least so far from what we’ve seen in the second half there’s been a bit of a slowdown in material purchasing by some of our major Chinese customers.
We do not believe that that’s related to the deployment themselves but rather fits and starts relating to how those deployments are proceeding and we fully expect that moving forward if you look at a longer time frame that there should be significant growth from China based teleco deployment as we move forward.

And as we anniversary the acquisition that you are talking about, starting to see in this last quarter the cost synergies, if you could maybe take a look back and say, hey a year from now I think this is going to be where I think we’ll be, or this is what I’d like to be, kind of give us a little bit of a grade on where you think you turned out and your thoughts on what you could have done better or what you think you’ve done well on.

If we look at this acquisition, we believe because in a [inaudible] opportunity for TranSwitch, because of Centillium today we have access to [inaudible] VoIP technology. We have access to EPON technology. We have access to [PE] technology and products which we did not have. Before this acquisition we were TranSwitch mostly in Access and in mostly the DSL area, and in [metro] and [cord].
And with Centillium we acquired the other technologies as well as we have a broader product portfolio. The other advantages that, with the Centillium acquisition when we sell and Access product like EPON, we can bundle the [inaudible] CPE products etc., which we believe none of our competitors can do.
