why are these people so excited when Cisco is yet to sell or win any deals in optical switching. Just buying an unproven startup by paying 7 billions is not a guarantee. If they paid only 500 million people would not make much of it. By paying 7 billion of inflated stock, Cisco's management will be under tremendous pressure to perform. All this dilution from Balloon acquisitions without revenues will hurt their EPS next year. I will mark this post to revisit next year , if the Cisco cheerleaders are still here, which I doubt very much. The only real competition for LU in optical is NT..Cisco will regret buying Cerent.
