Cisco to kill Linksys brand

Video Title :	Cisco to kill Linksys brand
Description :	http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/07/cisco_to_kill_linksys_brand_to_move_agressively_into_consumer_markets_video.php In a roundtable with the European press, John Chambers confirmed the "end of life" of the Linksys brand, replaced by Cisco. This decision follows Cisco's move last April to make it easier for Linksys resellers to add Cisco products to their offerings and vice versa. Also, just a few weeks ago, Cisco created a new division solely focused on the SMB market and headed by Rick Moran, formerly marketing chief of several Cisco communications applications like the unified communications portfolio, Cisco IPICS, Cisco Small Business Systems (Linksys One), TelePresence, Business Video and Physical security. "It will all come overtime into a Cisco brand. The reason we kept Linksys' brand because it was better known in the US than even Cisco was for the consumer. As you go globally there's very little advantage in that", said Cisco's CEO. http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/07/cisco_to_kill_linksys_brand_to_move_agressively_into_consumer_markets_video.php

oh well, im through with linksys, ive heard there bad for gaming and i have problem playing most online multiplayer games with my router, ive gone through 3 WRT54Gs in about 5 years.

Funny I have had a Linksys WRT54G for years, using both VOIP and I game with no issues at all.

Sounds like your games had Linksys for years and it works fine.... Lay off the piratebay downloads there chief.

what are you talking about, i dont download stuff illegaly, and i got the advice to get netgear from someone on age of empires III ESO. besides 3 routers dieing is annoying.

How do the Japanese have anything to do with this? If you ever get a chance to visit Japan, you'll see very courteous people who go out of their way to give a stranger a hand. Why can't the Democrats do that? I was born and raised in a cotton field, the only thing Dems provide is more hard labor and virtually no unions in the South. You want to blame someone for something, blame Americans

Sheesh. Notice he says "eventually". They're not going to kill the Linksys brand tomorrow, or even in the next couple of years.

fuckin japanese
