You hit the nail on the head in present day telecom. They have an inability to provide services in a profitable way. They're in a downward spiral.

You know that most of Cisco's business is enterprise, right? It juniper and some others that sell into the carriers primarily, and since cisco was losing share to jnpr once, the telecom collapse allows cisco with their cash position to put pressure on jnpr and build out their product offerings for the carriers.

And the analysts are raising estimates, based on what?

I think its the 13% y/y revenue increase, 500mm more revs this July qtr than last. Can't argue with that, can you? And this is mostly enterprise is my guess, whats gonna happen when the carriers DO come back and cisco gets that business in its entirety?

This is all fundamental, I know the stock mkt is in a funk so not buying here is probably as good a strategy as any, you probably won't miss much.
