From post 59923: Yet Cisco is far from undone. While technology spending has stagnated, the company remains the Shaquille O'Neal of its core markets, dominating the competition. Cisco held 81 percent of the US$7 billion market for routers last year and a 62 percent share of the US$11 billion market for switches, according to the Dell'Oro Group, a market research firm. Routers direct data to a neighborhood while switches deliver it to a particular office. Still, after the bust, Chambers has sought to move Cisco past triage and into long-term rebuilding by reorganizing the company, cutting costs and focusing on new markets, like Internet telephony, security and wireless communications. These three are busts or at best, aren't sufficient to provide meaningful growth. Meanwhile, where is the router business? Locked up in the Telcom Act of '96's anti-free market focus?
