<< The great growth area is not in LANs, not in NICs, not in the edge, but frankly in the Internet and the Virtual Private Networks
that link groups of people together from across the Internet.
Hence your "LAN" will be the Internet.>>

Clare,
Even though I agree with most of what you are saing, the above statement does not sound right to me.
The market for the Ascend/CISCO products are ISPs and super big corps, the market for LANs every single company big or small all over the world. The bandwidth achieved on LAN (1 gig) will not be matched ever(20 years at least) by the Internet. So Internet can not replace LAN.
