Sure I can, however their are people in this forum who sometimes foolish enough to make investment decisions on posts to this interest group, particularly if the source is an insider within the company in question. My advice to you would be to observe this thread but not contribute unless you enjoy your manager toasting your behind for making comments in this manner when you make it easily known that you work for Cisco, for whom believe it or not, I have a great deal of admiration and respect for what they have achieved.

Wonder how much this ATT problem will cost Cisco, In terms of Customer loyalty. Seems like the myth about going with Cisco is broken. Cisco's equipment provides NO ADVANTAGE over its competitors. Furthermore with the end-to-end stuff that Cisco stands for has its distinct disadvantage. An ISP is stuck with Cisco products, and must live under the cloud of SEVERE Losses financially and in customer loyalty. Imagine the number of customers ATT lost will lose, because they choose to have more than one Network Service Provider. Cisco should be made to pay 50% of the cost. (ATT should not be duped by the chartered planes that Chambers likes to show off with) Stockman
