Infonetics: Optical Gear Spending Flat in 4Q13 as North America Sags and EMEA SurgesBOSTON --(Business Wire)-- Market research firm Infonetics Research released vendor market share and preliminary analysis from its 4th quarter 2013 (4Q13) and year-end Optical Network Hardware report. (Full report published by February 24.) ANALYST NOTE "Optical spending flattened in the fourth quarter of 2013, though it wasn't distributed evenly around the world or by vendor. Weakness was concentrated in North America, but a year-end capex surge in EMEA evened things up," notes Andrew Schmitt, principal analyst for optical at Infonetics Research. Schmitt adds: "All indications are that an all-clear from Verizon (News - Alert) and AT&T is forthcoming and the Q4 drop was a pause rather than a reversal - and this is in line with our forecasts."
