Trying to put 2 and 2 together.
First, this from today's LATimes:
latimes.com
. . .Cisco's new device, the cable modem, will be the first to offer regular voice connections. It will sell for about $1,000 and is aimed at home offices. But Cisco is also licensing its technology to consumer electronics companies such as Sony, Hitachi and Samsung, which plan to offer similar products for the consumer market later this year.
Cisco believes that over time, Internet service, cable TV providers and others will offer telephone services to their customers as a free add-on to their basic services.
As part of its consumer strategy, Cisco plans to work with a broad range of partners to create a new "personalized network" that will make it easy to connect personal computers, televisions, phones and other appliances to one another and to the Internet. . . .
Then this, from Com21's web site:
com21.com
I've phoned the company to see if there's any connection other than having done the road show.
Even if there's not, Cisco's push into this market is a big plus.
