More recently, speculation has risen that Cisco is interested in Ciena, a maker of telecommunications gear based in Linthicum, Md. Chambers says that, too, would be a tough merger because of the companies' differences in geography and culture. Still, Chambers predicts that his industry will continue to consolidate so that there are two to five major global players -- one of them Cisco. >> All facts....but true. Sure a merger with CIEN would be tough...but HE DID NOT DENY IT..!!!!!
