Volpe Brown Whelan analyst Amar Senan thinks
that right now the battle is between Cisco and
Lucent--these companies have to find ways to
maintain their 20%-plus revenue growth intact.
Both have been able to ride out the volatility in
technology stocks by constantly posting solid
earnings.

"The lines between voice communications and
data communications have become so blurred
that these two would be competing with each
other in every sphere of the market," he says.

Cisco will have to move into voice
communications space to grow, while Lucent will
have to keep nibbling into the data communication
market, he predicts.

Senan predicts that Cisco in the near future could
go on a shopping spree for companies that make
hardware for voice networks. These include the
likes of Advanced Fiber and Tell Labs. "These
are good companies with good client base, and
would make a worthy addition to the Cisco
arsenal," he says.
