Dow Jones Indexes Editor on “Why Cisco?”


Interesting video on www.wsj.com with Dow Jones Indexes Editor/Executive Director John Prestbo who tells WSJ’s Matt Phillips the reasons Cisco is now listed on the Dow.

As I watched it, I thought: this video is actually one of the reasons we’re now listed on the Dow.  Video is becoming more and more important in communication and we are at the center of this.  Clearly, video use will grow with or without Cisco, but we certainly hope to be a part of that growth.

In this video Mr. Prestbo states that Cisco, the internet and networking is the “21st Century version of automobiles…having the same kind of effect on American culture as automobiles did in the 20th Century.”
