If Cisco is going to explicitly support Telco Two-Tiered Internet, and RIAA/MPAA DRM, I say it is time to boycott their consumers products, and make them and our congresspeople aware of our regard for "tollways" on the internet. |

Unfortunately Cisco has such a large and diverse product mix that a boycott of consumer devices would be a little like a boycott of microsoft paint For the small number of tech aware consumers that would sign on to this Cisco would not feel it.

| MS & Cisco statements sound like an open marriage
Both sides are saying the usual married couple things. But they both appear to be keeping their options open if a better deal comes along.

Re: Sounds like it's time to boycott Cisco products!
I agree that it would not succeed, but it would be a statement, especially coupled with a grassroots movement to make our elected reps aware we aren't going quietly into a Telco/**AA world of tiered internet, and locked down content. Just another front in the war against corporate dominance of all thought and interaction in this so-called "culture". |

well, I have not bought a Cisco product (that I know) on a while. All my home network (but motto modem) is Netgear hardware... wired router, wireless router (wpn824), 3 XE104(power line networking). |

I welcome a competitor to the buggy MS crap being foisted on people that just want to watch TV without power-cycling their cable boxes. |
