Cisco: Internet to change forever Tuesday (place your bets!)

After the close of markets today, Cisco is expected to significant news which will "forever change the Internet and its impact on consumers, businesses and governments."

Cisco has been rumored to be about to purchase almost every interesting company in the technology field over the last decade. One may feel tempted to think that Cisco wants to get in the bandwidth game, chasing after Google's recent announcement: a trial of open-access, fiber-to-the-home Internet service at speeds of 1Gbps in select locations. But Cisco claims that they have no interest in being a service provider.
