Cisco Defends the CCNP Wireless Announcement

Blogger Brandon Carroll writes, "A few days back I posted an article about a Cisco Learning Partner that released the CCNP Wireless Courses to the public before Cisco announced it. I received an e-mail from a Cisco Program Manager that stated: Your article is totally wrong and you should check your facts. Cisco announced the CCNP Wireless Track in December 2008 at Barcelona ... I disagree."

Cisco capitulates to the Free Software Foundation
Yesterday, the Free Software Foundation announced that it has settled its grievance with Cisco. After previously pegging Cisco as an open source leech, Cisco has positioned itself as an open source champion. The company agreed to appoint a director to ensure that its Linksys products comply with the terms of free software licenses, and in return the Free Software Foundation will dismiss the copyright infringement lawsuit it filed in December.

Beware Cisco of how the mighty fall
From Brad Reese On Cisco: "The press adores Cisco and for good reason. Cisco just oozes the image of success. Heck just this week, Cisco announced its new pursuit of building out smart grid utility networks, a $100 billion opportunity according to Cisco. Earlier this month, Business Week published a book excerpt written by author Jim Collins: How the Mighty Fall: A Primer on the Warning Signs. I'm thoroughly convinced that Cisco has entered the five stages of How the Mighty Fall."

How to Prep for CCIE R/S Troubleshooting?
From the Cisco Cert Zone by Wendell Odom: "Our survey about the new CCIE R/S troubleshooting section revealed some interesting facts. First, more than 1/3 of us said that their chances of passing went down with the addition of the new troubleshooting section on the lab. Second, the overwhelming majority thinks that adding troubleshooting make the exam more realistic to what's required of a CCIE doing their normal job. So it got me thinking - how do you prep for the troubleshooting part of the exam?"

Applying Accounting Measures to Data Networking Financial Performance
