just a correction, it wasn't a newspaper but an article on ZDNet:

which in part states:

Not to be left out, Cisco Systems is reworking its partner program so that
all partners are required to specialize. The company also will require
customer-satisfaction ratings for its partners, a step taken by Microsoft
earlier this year for its top-tier Gold partners.
In return, Cisco will share its best practices and tools with its partners
and drop the CCIE requirements from one per $10 million sales to one per $40
million in sales. That will push CCIEs into a project management role, and
put more responsibility on the shoulders of associate, professional and
expert certified Cisco partners.
