We don't have to worry about CSCO in the consumer
market. It will self destruct on its own. Thing is,
my understanding is they're doing great in their own
space. It's not as if they have to conquer the consumer
market to survive, as far as I know.

I think this is just a good PR move to shake things
up so they can keep a toe in the consumer sector for
some reason or another. That's my best guess.

Competing head-to-head with 3Com in the consumer sector
will be great for COMS.

Here's a little excerpt of the article I posted beforehand:


"It's back-end marketing," said Craig Johnson, principal analyst with industry watcher the Pita Group, a Portland, Oregon-based firm. "Cisco has to get consumers to push."

Johnson pointed to the success that Cisco rival 3Com has had with its name recognition through the success of products like the PalmPilot and its networking cards for PCs. "

btw...any news on the "war"...is it over yet?
