Cisco buys another company, shock horror

Cisco is buying Transmedia Communications with $407 million of its stratospheric stock. It's a Cisco getting into the telecomms market thing. Transmedia technology splits phone calls and data traffic on telecoms networks, This means quicker routing for both types of traffic. Transmedia is based in San Jose, California -- the same town as Cisco Centraal. No doubt it will disappear pretty quickly into Cisco's maws. ®
