Forbes and Cisco

Got VoIP? milk bottle

Got VoIP?

Forbes had an interesting article on Cisco. It starts off in the beginning of the article saying, "Seven months later, Cisco's stock has been disappointing and trades around $19 per share--about 20% lower than when I discussed the opportunities for the company." However, it then states a more positive tone with, "But don't count out Cisco yet--2005 will be a big year for IP networks."

The article goes on further to explain why Cisco may make a turnaround in 2005 - all due to and thanks to VoIP. I agree with the Forbes article that "VoIP" could be Cisco's savior in 2005, at least market value-wise and stock price-wise anyway.

Yep, VoIP does the body good...and hopefully does your VoIP stock portfolio good in 2005. Got VoIP?

Yep, I think the 2005 will be a great year in voip history. lots of pre-commercial voip networks have been built around china(shanghai by alcatel, guangzhou by huawei, ...).

VOIP is will be a HUGE market for Cisco. Those that have seen the product understand. The product is nothing short of outstanding, so for the estimate that VOIP will be big for Cisco is dead on.

Somebody would expect someone with 26 years of programming experience to know by now that as far as the web knows Forbes, forbes and FORBES are the same thing.

No need to double-triple-whatever-ple your technorati tags to cover all bases. CNN.COM and cnn.com and cNn.cOm would take you to the same page.

Happy anniversary if i dont catch you again before you celebrate 30 years in programming.

HA! Good one.big grin it's a bug in a MovableType third-party plugin. Been meaning to fix, just haven't had the time.

I was thinking about starting a VoIP business a few months back and backed out. For hove VoIP there are two companies that make the adapters. LinkSys(Cisco) and D-link (which I was strongly advised to avoid). Although I also think that VoIP is not going to turn Cisco around. As much as hyped for a company as diverse and dominant in business data networking as Cisco.
