stunod2002 directs our attention to the fact that Netgear has acquired Westell's customer networking solutions division for $33.5 million. Westell says they'll retain "customer relationships" from its HomeCloud brand and product line, but all other consumer platforms will now fall under the Netgear umbrella. More specifically, all of the hardware that Westell provides to both Verizon and Cincinnati Bell for VoIP, video, and broadband services will now be under Netgear management. Netgear insists the deal accelerate our service-provider revenue growth and strengthen our market position among North America telecommunications operators."
