Gorilla Game and Bed Fellows

CSCO needs to have another gorilla bed fellow in the
voice and wireless world i.e. you need two to tango.
The real all out fangs drawn, teeth showing, fur
flying war is possible when Cisco and Ericcson called
Ciscoricsson :-) can/would marry. This will be an ideal
marriage as voice and wireless are Ericsson's playground.
Throw in TLAB as a High-speed Physical (p)layer and
you have a dynamite.

Currently, only Nortel (after BAY buy) has all
technology components. LU's brand name and marketing
are tops and they would be actively acquiring
companies starting October. I wouldn't be surprised
if they turn hostile towards CSCO in October.
ALA and Ericsson are 800 pounders but active in
markets other than NorthAmerica. ALA going
for NN would be another good bet.

As far as stock value is concerned CSCO is the best
value for the buck. CSCO revenue per employee is
atleast 3x of any other comparable companys'.
Ascend has excellent revenue per employee as well.
