Stuff like this makes me laugh. If this were for real, setting goals and desires/wishes would not be stated. Sounds like something from Mr. Rodgers out of the "Land of Make Believe". Come'on Trolly let's go for a ride:
IBM unveils network chips, sets goal to be No. 1
By Eric Auchard
NEW YORK , Sept 1 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. <IBM.N>
on Thursday will unveil a new family of network processor chips and related
strategies as part of a bid to become the world's top supplier of communications
microelectronics by 2003, IBM officials said.
IBM, the world's largest computer maker, is looking to boost its role as a supplier
of technology parts in hot demand by computer, communications and consumer
electronic makers, reaching beyond its roots as a supplier of entire computers.
The Armonk, N.Y.-based company will introduce Thursday a new family of
programmable communications chips for data networking products like routers,
hubs and switches that can be enhanced using software rather than costly hardware
upgrades.
"We feel we will be in the No. 1 or No. 2 position by 2002 and no. 1 by 2003 in
wired communications," Christine King, vice president for wired communications
at IBM's Microelectronics division, said in an interview.
IBM seeks to be the dominant player in high-growth wired communications
markets industry analysts estimate will generate $20 billion in revenues by 2003.
That figure excludes wireless communications markets, where IBM is also keen to
play. |
