Mr.Fun, Did you see this? cbs.marketwatch.com Some Cisco shareholders at SiliconInvestor see a telecom future for Cisco. Mr. Fun ..."I believe that Cisco will get more than just the tiny portion of the voice market. I don't think it will happen overnight but there are strong indications that the market likes the idea of one network supporting all traffic. But the general market will not accept a solution that does not offer the same levels of reliability and features that are enjoyed with current voice solutions." And from Gary ..."What many fail to realize is that Cisco has a nice hold on the data world. Old world (telephony) companies have to run like hell to simply KEEP their customers. Cisco on the other hand is now in front of a market 5 to 10 times larger than they originally played in. It's like a kid in a candy store. Will Cisco dominate the converged networks of tomorrow? Maybe not, but they don't have to." Same vision from Eric ..."Cisco's fundamental business plan is executing almost flawlessly. They are doing better than even I would have expected. Lucent is a great company but I'm waiting to see how they will defend their turf. The REAL money will be made in the new infrastructures. Lucent is supporting the OLD WORLD and is trying to ramp up to the new world. Cisco doesn't have that baggage to deal with."
