William, Interesting article... funny to watch Russo make such a bad blunder though.. Cisco paid nearly $7 billion for two optical networking companies, Cerent and Monterey Networks, in order to bec ome a leader in optical hardware used by big data networks. Cisco can pick up "two companies,' she says, but Lucent can flex "over 2,000 patents alone in the optical field" If memory serves there was a broad cross license agreement as part of the resolution of litigation filed by both companies.
