NetSpeed's product suite adds customer premise equipment, central office products and broadband remote access to Cisco's DSL product portfolio. Then, Texas Instruments Inc. acquired Amati Communications Corp. for $20 a share, or $395 million, outbidding Westell Technologies Inc., which had already structured a deal to buy Amati. To break that agreement, Amati must pay Westell a $14.8 million fee. At the time when asked by the WSJ why they were buying Amati, the reply was...
