Very insightful piece from Mercury News, “MAGID ON TECH: Cisco’s big announcement with router<\/a><\/strong>” (emphasis added),<\/p>\n

\n

Linksys, a Cisco subsidiary, offers really good Internet and networking routers starting at under $50 for home or office use.<\/p>\n

But companies that are in the business of distributing data within the Internet infrastructure and between Internet service providers across long distances need to spend a tad bit more for their routers.<\/p>\n

How much more? How does $90,000 grab you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s the starting price of the CRS-3, the router that Cisco announced with great fanfare on Tuesday. The device, available later this year, can deliver a whopping 322 terabits of data, which is 3 times the speed of the company’s existing CRS-1 router and 12 times faster than what the competition offers, Cisco CEO John Chambers said.<\/strong> [..]<\/p>\n

Cisco made a big deal out of this announcement, claiming in advance that it would “forever change the Internet.”<\/strong> […]<\/p>\n

In retrospect, I wish I had stayed in bed.<\/strong> […]<\/p>\n

Still, I can’t help feel a little bit used by the company’s public relations people.<\/p>\n

“Forever change the Internet” seems like a bit of hyperbole to me, and, trust me, I’ve heard plenty of hyperbole after three decades covering Silicon Valley companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My biggest problem with the Cisco news conference was trying to stay awake. After two cups of coffee and anticipating that I would learn about something incredible, I was inundated with technical terms that even I don’t understand.<\/p>\n

As talented as Cisco CEO John Chambers may be, he is no match for the other master of overstatement, Apple CEO Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
