Cisco's opposition to Net neutrality laws could lead to its downfall

Cisco wins either way. If the net is not neutral Cisco can sell higher margin products to entrenched carriers who use anti-neutrality laws to extract monopoly profits from the market. If the net is neutral, Cisco still benefits but has to put up with a higher percentage of lower margin price-sensitive sales of commodity products to small ISPs.

So Cisco is acting on what is good for Cisco, not what is good for humanity, or for consumers, or for American competitiveness. Shame on them, but not surprising.

Will,

Here is John Chambers and Charlie Giancarlo lashing out at the big carriers for being slow to build out network infrastructure:

Cisco needs to terminate the people in its Washington office!
