Hi again group ,
I just wittnes a repotage on cnn just 5 min agao about Cisco's interest in
Nokia and its not real There was a intervju with cco of Cisco and he told
Cisco are a 1.54 b $. Company (by the way), and that this is just a rumor.
Cisco are not interested in buying that big company but rather smaller
companys. He also told that they have been considering a partnership with
some division of Nokia that they found interested..
That should stop those rumors right away

Emne: RE: Cisco to buy Nokia
The only way cisco would by nokia is if they spun off
the handset business after. It does not fit in their
business model.
