BN 9/10 Cisco Shares Fall 4.6% as Company Talks of Price Cut (Update1) "...Cisco said at the Salomon Brothers Technology Conference in New York that it's planning to cut prices on its remote-access concentrators, analysts said. The devices are used by Internet service providers to link hundreds of telephone callers into the Internet. Price cuts will have a small impact on Cisco's profit, since access concentrators account for only about 3 percent of Cisco's sales, said Cowen & Co. analyst Vijay Rajamani. Any price cuts by Cisco could be a serious problem for Ascend, though, Rajamani said. Ascend gets 55 percent of its revenue from that product line. Cisco shortly will bring out a new type of access concentrator that will offer most of the features of Ascend's products. Because of the more efficient use of custom-designed chips, Cisco will spend less than Ascend to make the product, analysts said. That will allow it to price its product below Ascend's, analysts said. 3Com's sales also may be hurt because it gets about 13 percent of its revenue from concentrators...."
