Nihil, Though Mindmeld mistakenly thought that you were talking about CSCO rather than NT, he is correct about your statements on criminal, monopolistic practices by NT. NT has or had 90% of the market because they were first to market. The market was also quite small, so as a % of total business, it is irrelevant. Your statement that they should be in jail as a result of owning this business borders on foolishness, imo. LU now has a product and CSCO is claiming to have one by early to mid next year. The market for this product is also just beginning to expand. Nobody is monopolizing anything in that particular space.

Now, if you want to make the argument for CSCO owning 87% of the router market because of a proprietary IOS and lack of open systems standards for other vendors, you may have gROund to stand on, but that will never go to court. That is why we all own CSCO.
