>>Isn't this end of product life cycle pricing reduction to clear inventories for the new and latest model.<< Could be that also. But they just need to make sure they get a lot of sales this month. Also, this time of the year, is typically the pricing reduction period for the new generation of products. I've noticed some mention of this as to the way COMS deals with INTC. It's now standard that COMS will constantly be cutting their prices in line with others and more aggressively. They are a much better company for doing this than CSCO, INTC, CPQ, etc.... Price wars in certain areas are COMS bread and butter, and will start surprised the public more on this issue. IMO, the bigger question is whether there is a slow down in network product demand. I think this ebbs and flows, but generally the INTERNET is getting to darn big for slowdowns to be happening.
