I honestly don't know whether this is OFF TOPIC or on. Hope someday to know for sure. But for now lets assume it is off topic.... <<More Than 30 Industry Partners Support Cisco Strategy For Delivering High-Speed Internet Services and Products to Consumer Market Business Editors and Computer Writers CES99 Booth N212 LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 1999-- MCI Worldcom, Sony, Sprint & Samsung Among the Companies Supporting Cisco's Push into Consumer Market A coalition of 33 telephone companies, cable companies, Internet service providers (ISPs) and consumer electronic companies today announced support for Cisco's strategy to extend a New World of high-speed Internet services and products to the consumer market. By selling its New World data, voice and video gear to service providers, Cisco's consumer strategy intends to create an opportunity for cable companies, telcos and ISPs to generate additional revenue by offering broadband data, voice and video services. In addition, Cisco's consumer strategy also involves licensing its Internet technology to consumer electronic companies to jump-start a new category of Internet-enabled devices that can plug into these new high-speed networks. "Our consumer strategy brings the power of high-speed Internet access and personal networks to the Internet family," said Don Listwin, executive vice president of consumer and service provider lines of business. "We also are focusing on collaboration, partnering with service providers and consumer electronic companies to deliver faster, more innovative Internet-enabled devices and services. Our vision is to create an Internet ecosystem that will eventually connect everyone to everything." "Samsung fully supports and shares Cisco's mission to expand the reach of Internet services and products to the mass consumer market," said Mark Stubbe, vice president of Samsung Telecommunications America's networks division. "The industry is facing an exciting new era in providing innovative, superior technologies for utilizing the Internet. Samsung's products such as the InfoRanger cable modem and other products that use Cisco's technologies will certainly benefit consumers." Many industry experts predict a large market for new broadband services and Internet-enabled consumer devices. "As broadband Internet access drives home networking growth, the need for standardization, quality of service, advanced feature sets such as voice over IP, and overall network manageability will become important for widespread home networking acceptance," said DavidPaul Doyle, Industry Analyst of Networking for Dataquest. "Putting these elements in place today will also hasten the future integration of different home networking clusters, bringing productivity, entertainment, communications, and appliance and control systems into one unified home network." In a related announcement today, Cisco Systems, Inc. and General Instrument Corporation announced that they intend to work with AT&T on a non-exclusive basis to develop and trial a seamless, end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) solution that would allow AT&T to offer data, voice and video services over the hybrid fiber-coax network now being deployed by AT&T and TCI. The New World network will combine Internet, phone and video services over a single cable line, fundamentally changing the way communications services are delivered to consumers. The network build-out also represents the first major deployment of phone services over an Internet-based infrastructure, using cable lines as the transmission vehicle. Cisco also announced plans to introduce a new type of 'personalized' network for the home, a sort of plug-and-play local area network, connecting PCs, phones, TVs and other Internet appliances. Cisco also introduced a voice-enabled cable modem at CES, which will allow consumers to get phone service from their cable company, in addition to high-speed Internet access and television service. These personal networks begin to lay the groundwork for Cisco's long-term vision to turn the Internet into the next mass medium, eventually connecting everyone to everything.
