>>CSCO's aggressive technology purchases are more costly than in-house development. << Tom, I'd like to know why you think that? If that was the case then no company would be acquiring new technologies, they would be developing in house? Personally, I have never seen any study that shows it's cheaper in terms of cost and TTM to develop rather than acquire in some cases. It may cost $500 Million to buy a company but if it means the product gets to market 1 1/2 years ahead of a in-house developed product and it's revenue generating during that time, isn't that better than lost revenue while waiting for the in-house product?
