Looks like the big boys of "old-world" telco equipment vendors are 'colluding' to freeze & squeeze the brash CSCO out by first financing young start-up tigers like Juniper and then more emphatically -- cutting strategic deals to help each other make sure CSCO is choked off it's path before it does any damage in the all-important service provider market where the big bucks are going to be spent. It helps that JNPR has a better technology and with help from their sales partners like NT and ERICY, CSCO will be fighting an uphill battle in a market they don't quite understand. Interesting tactics and strategy.
