Hey Mindmeld: It won't happen. Nearly all of Cisco's competitors have invested in Juniper already. They are all looking for companies like this that they think might have a chance of toppling Cisco since they can't do it themselves. There is no way that they would let Cisco buy out their ownership of it, IMO. JRH

Mindmeld, I think that if we all had insight into the articles of incorporation for Juniper, we'd find that none of the stockholders has the right to purchase the company. This was a carefully orchestrated private placement that helps the companies avoid the kind of development standards war now raging in the wireless arena.
