We're back in TSCM. This time it's positive (or at least least neutral). Is it reasonable to assume that this is in return for the GE investment that was disclosed before? thestreet.com Weekend Report: Cisco Puts $1 Billion Into KPMG to Build Net Services By Brian Louis Staff Reporter 8/8/99 7:46 PM ET Not counting sports, big news was scarce this weekend, although there are a few tidbits to pass along. Cisco (CSCO:Nasdaq) said it was making a $1 billion investment in KPMG LLP, the accounting and consulting firm, The New York Times reported. Under terms of the deal, KPMG, part of KPMG International, will use the money to hire 4,000 engineers and service professionals over the next 18 months to deliver Net-based data, voice and video services to its business and consulting clients, the Times reported. Cisco, in return for its investment, will own a stake of less than 20% in KPMG's U.S. unit, according to the newspaper. Internet portal Snap.com, owned by NBC and CNet (CNET:Nasdaq), said today it signed a deal to market products from Web telephony provider Net2Phone (NTOP:Nasdaq) on NBC Web sites, according to a Reuters report. In exchange, Snap.com, NBC and GE Capital will acquire equity stakes in Net2Phone. NBC and GE Capital are units of General Electric (GE:NYSE). The automaking unit of South Korea's Daewoo Group plans to raise $3.5 billion via a strategic alliance with General Motors (GM:NYSE), lead creditor Korea First Bank said yesterday, according to Reuters.
