The computer networking industry -- for years the fastest-growing high-tech business -- will expand at its slowest rate ever in 1998 as prices for key types of equipment collapse, a market research firm said on Wednesday. Cahners In-Stat Group now expects industry sales to rise just 8.1% for the year to $29.1 billion from $26.9 billion in 1997. In the previous two years, the industry's revenues grew by about 30% to 40%. The main culprit for the networking industry's slowdown this year is free-falling prices for Ethernet switches -- specialized computers that route information between hundreds of personal computers within a company.
