However, I would be interested to know how many of these units Cisco has predicted to sell into an economy where there is little disposable income for gadgets when most, at least me, have a perfectly fine functioning wireless home network, with multiple nodes.
And "Telepresence"...it's called a "Webcam" for $30 bucks.
Thank You.
Oh great, so we will need to shell out even more money to the cable and telco companies, when they already regularly price gouge us. No thank you!!
Tele-presence is another area where Cisco could have a impact especially if they work with service providers. Business today is barely scratching the potential of telecommuting. Tele=presence could serve as the catalyst. If the carriers see tel-presence as an opportunity then they could be motivated to upgrade the last mile.

- If you don't know, cisco bought linksys several years ago. The linksys WRT54G wireless router was more expensive than the other similar home routers when I purchased it, but I have not been dissapointed. The range on the wireless has been better and the features included the ability to use a radius server (not available on other makes). I liked the compact wireless router until they redesigned it. One feature I'd like to see is the ability to do reservations for the DHCP. As for reliability, I've only seen one failure of a linksys or cisco product and that may have been due to lightning.
