Cisco is plainly moving to Video in the home, and intends to lead in IPTV. See Chambers remarks in: news.com.com For more info, Do a Google search on " CISCO quadruple-play" Also: iptvarticles.com

No, I don't frankly. But I do remember Chambers talking alot about internet connected homes, microwaves and fridges and that they had a new consumer division, and then nothing much happened. Then when they bought Linksys, it seems that they finally grabbed hold of a piece of the consumer market that they could flourish in. So I'm hoping this new consumer push has more to do with letting the Linksys folks figure out what consumers want, rather than Cisco proper figuring it out, because that didn't work in the 90's and I'd doubt it would work now.
