I would wonder the lost on the acqusition of linksys. Cisco had a good product line for the consumer base. I have purchased many of their products since living in Florida. While working in Orlando I support 2 wire years ago and it seem ok. ATT will have to go to a Belkin brand for the consumer I assume. It was nice to see the Cisco product line brought to the home because it brings the brand out to regular people an not all of us arrested but loving the networking field.

Finally, Cisco is undoing some of the damage they wrought through those horrible overpriced consumer-level acquisitions. Talk about losing focus. Their poor investors have trod water for ten years. I’m amused that we aren’t seeing the amount from Belkin revealed. Gee – is it *possible* that Cisco lost money on the Linksys ack all those years ago?

This actually makes me think about investing in some Cisco shares now. I’d sure like to see a hike in their dividend, though.

I wonder what this means for AT&T U-Verse.
They currently use set top boxes from Cisco, with a rumor of “finally” replacing the horrible “2wire” residential gateway for one from Cisco.
Does this mean no residential gateway from Cisco for AT&T U-Verse because it would be done under a “consumer” label? Or is it considered something else where it will not be effected by something like this?
I guess more waiting…
