Cisco plans to buy 5 to 15 firms a year news.com By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com December 15, 1998, 4:55 a.m. PT Cisco Systems plans to buy between 5 and 15 companies a year and is particularly interested in buying technology that can transmit video and voice, the company's chief executive said in an interview. John Chambers revealed the plans during an interview with the French newspaper La Tribune. Chambers ruled out buying Alcatel, a French telephone equipment manufacturer, although he said the U.S. maker of equipment to link computer networks wants to raise its profile in France with television advertisements for its Internet product starting in January. Cisco shares rose to a record 83-1/2 on Friday on expectations that new products will help the company boost earnings.
