We don't have to worry about CSCO in the consumer market. It will self destruct on its own. Thing is, my understanding is they're doing great in their own space. It's not as if they have to conquer the consumer market to survive, as far as I know. I think this is just a good PR move to shake things up so they can keep a toe in the consumer sector for some reason or another. That's my best guess. Competing head-to-head with 3Com in the consumer sector will be great for COMS. Here's a little excerpt of the article I posted beforehand: "It's back-end marketing," said Craig Johnson, principal analyst with industry watcher the Pita Group, a Portland, Oregon-based firm. "Cisco has to get consumers to push." Johnson pointed to the success that Cisco rival 3Com has had with its name recognition through the success of products like the PalmPilot and its networking cards for PCs. " btw...any news on the "war"...is it over yet?
