The home networking gear market is projected to grow from $3.7 billion in 2002 to $7.5 billion in 2006, according to the Dell'Oro Group.

even after all this... linksys products still suck. SMC and Netgear make far more reliable products. it's beyond me why linksys is so popular as the only consistency they have with their products is that they consistantly suck. hehe
ultimately however, i think that this is a good way for cisco to position themselves in the home/soho market.

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, and the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn`t want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon...
