[coms] hi shlomi, just noticed the following comment made by eric b himself.. apparently 3com has invested in an israeli vdsl co along with siemens... do you know of any other israeli vdsl co's siemens has invested in besides you-know-who?.. guess coms should stay on the list for potential orctf consumer partners.. ;) have you heard anything re coms/orctf? s ---- July 27, 1998, Issue: 725 Section: Interview The InternetWeek Interview -- Eric Benhamou, chairman and CEO of 3Com .... InternetWeek: Can you compete in the new networking field where megamergers, such as the pending deal between Northern Telecom and Bay Networks, are becoming the norm? Benhamou: We believe that the strategy of partnership we are pursuing is far better for us. It enables us to have meaningful relationships with telephone equipment vendors like Siemens and not become their direct competitors. In fact, Siemens and 3Com have jointly invested in a VDSL company in Israel. It's a different strategy from Cisco's. This does not mean that one is necessarily better than the other, but given our strengths, this is by far the best strategy for us. I don't know how Cisco is going to take on competitors like Siemens and Lucent... techweb.com
