Geeze!! Why not? I guess they already had this on mind when deciding to cut their own 15900 Lambda router. Now it makes more sense.

Re: Cisco May Bid for Marconi [7:7024]
Natasha, Marconi are making no comment citing that the top execs are in Atlanta at a trade show My own personal thought would be that the Marconi execs would have issued a statement if their was NO truth in the matter, since Marconi shares are up 6% today on this rumour. Q: What have Marconi got that Cisco want ? A: Strong European foothold.

Re: Cisco May Bid for Marconi [7:7024]
They have a pretty poor history as a defence contractor though. They managed to squander millions/billions on a British Version of AWACS which bellyflopped. We ended up buying American again. They could not get the Radar to work properly. Apparently had stationary brick walls moving at 100 m.p.h. etc etc I trust that if Cisco acquire then they get rid of that division to some one who wants it, Lockheed-Martin perhaps!

You know, that is the way business is done these days. 1. Fire 1/3 or more of your workforce due to a bad economy. 2. Shortly after, buy a competing company during bad economy. 3. Goto step 1.

The CIA didn't comment either, so it must be a covert operation. :-) -- "Someone approached me and asked me to teach a javascript course.
