[Cisco software acquisition...]

Pat,

Cisco's recent aquisition....internet broadcasting play.

biz.yahoo.com

<<During the next year, Cisco and TIBCO Software will further their
ongoing joint developmentof an open standard for delivering
subscriber-sensitive network capabilities. These innovative
network services are being developed to help users conserve network
bandwidth locally and over the Internet.

Tibco's ``publish/subscribe'' software makes it easier to find or
receive subscriber-sensitive networked information and streamlines
bandwidth-intensive applications like online publications, new media
broadcast outlets and videoconferencing. Publish/subscribe software
allows a single message to make its way through the ``plumbing'' of
the network to thousands of users or subscribers, rather than sending
the same message thousands of times to thousands of users. >> snip

A quick comment. Note that this small acquisition (10%) is located in
Palo Alto. All artcles that I have read said that Cisco wishes to
partner or aquire firms in the Silicon Valley area. If this is indeed
a prerequisite...this would rule out a partnership or
acquisition of Westell in the Chicago suburbs. Just my take.

Bob
