I got my wrist slapped by Joe for suggesting a name for this JV over on the 3Com thread last night.

Excerpts I like: "Currently, most office telephones run on their own "PBX," or private-branch-exchange systems, which make up an annual market valued at as much as $15 billion. But computer networks are growing in capabilities and are expected to soon begin carrying voice traffic in addition to computer data." In an interview Tuesday, Mr. Benhamou repeated his intentions to keep 3Com independent, saying the company's long-term value is far greater than whatever premium an acquirer might currently pay. "I'd be sued [by shareholders] for the rest of my life," he said, were he to sell the company right now. I'd be one of the shareholders sueing!!! "new partnership with Siemens showed how 3Com could compete in important new markets against larger companies like Cisco while still remaining independent." This is only news to the uninformed, but this needs to be told over and over, which will be the case in '99. Well, no marriage, just a child out of wedlock. (sheesh, just realized I'm on the Robot thread, what is wrong with me today:-); I'll have to repost on the COMS thread... )
