Cisco as consumer-electronics player? I think we are going to get their version of a "Cisco inside" consumer marketing program.

Thread, Rumors abound that Cisco will announce it is forming a consumer division that will market products to be sold directly into the home. One analyst doubts Cisco will sell directly to consumers, but thinks the company might partner with consumer electronics manufacturers and provide technology that would help them develop Internet-enabled products, thus boosting demand for its own products. When looking at the BIG picture, it would make sense that CSCO is entering the consumer market as they are now advertising on TV. On the surface, this may sound like a worthless statement, but there really is no reason for them to be advertising to consumers UNLESS they had plans to enter the consumer market....When's the last time you saw AMAT advertise on TV? Just a simple thought...I am new to the thread, so go easy...<gg> MileHigh
