That is an interesting question. CSCO does not compete with TLAB on any existing product line as far as I know. I done think it should be a problem. CSCO might want a closer alliance as they need to represent themselves as more than just a networking company. They currently lack any significant exposure on the voice side . It would increase CSCO's product line. The cable telephony market for voice is growing too and TLAB has a product there. Cable companies are trying to become alternatives to the telcos for business customers in voice and internet access. A CSCO/TLAB alliance might add value as they could offer a more diverse offering. TLAB's for the voice and CSCO for the data. I will have to look at this more closely.
