Extremely bad for CSCO if LU gets ASND. CSCO has already been hit hard by the GBit startups as well as potentially the new up and coming high-speeed switch routers. LU also backed some of these such as Juniper. Now, LU is going into the heart of CSCO in all three key areas:

1. WAN ATM and SP mkt
2. Access
3. IP Router

What is CSCO doing to get into LU mkt ?, very very little. Instead CSCO is trying to get into the very low margin home connectivity market that is not going to takeoff any time soon. With the hugh expense from going into the low-end home mkt, the tough competition from LU, NT and others, the intense price pressure from GBit startups will all collectively drive the margin down in a big way. Look for CSCO to be down substantially within a year. all imo.
