Cisco directing telecom action

Article Abstract:

Cisco Systems Inc.'s growing presence in the telephone carriers market is pushing rivals to make dramatic moves to keep pace. For instance, rival Northern Telecom Ltd. intends to acquire Bay Networks Inc., a major rival of Cisco, to strengthen its position in the telecommunications equipment market and to better compete with Cisco, which is positioning itself as a one-stop shopping source for telephone carriers, Internet access providers and corporate customers. San Jose, CA-based Cisco Systems retails products that carry data across the computer networks of corporations as well as products that will improve phone carriers's ability to handle Internet traffic.

Internet integral to Intel

Article Abstract:

Intel Corp., a microprocessor firm, wants to expand its market via the Internet to boost its profitability. The plan, however, is hindered by Microsoft Corp.'s dominance in the market as well as other problems such as its planned launch of its new microprocessor called Celeron, errors in new chip called Xeon and the launching delay of its Merced for servers. Intel vice president and director of sales and marketing Sean Maloney, however, said the challenges by critics relating to the supposed failures of its products were exaggerated. Intel intends to pursue its plans nevertheless.
