SAN JOSE, Calif. - March 8, 2010 - Cisco will host a live media, blogger and industry analyst webcast Tuesday, March 9, at 8:00 a.m. (PST) to make a significant announcement that will forever change the Internet and its impact on consumers, businesses and governments.

Guess we have about 45 minutes till we find out. They have links to watch it here:

That it was them, not really Sisqo, who wrote the "Thong Song"?

 

[StrangerGuy]

Skynet?

 

[Chunkee]

free nachos?

 

[MedicBob]

free nachos?

Cheeze?

 

[Gibsons]

With that claim, it better be more than introducing a new line of routers.

 

[techs]

Free pron?

 

[Fenixgoon]

this just in: cisco has aggregated all of the world's porn into one huge fileserver 😛

 

[grohl]

free phone / internet / phone service + ads

that would shake it up pretty good

 

[DesiPower]

wi-fi satellite?

 

[Farang]

An announcement alone is going to do all that? They are going to change the internet by proclamation?

 

[SlitheryDee]

Cisco routers across the globe have linked up into a gigantic artificial intelligence bent on world domination?

this is probably what it will be.

[Gibsons]

Tight connections are better than loose ones?

 

[DesiPower]

Tight connections are better than loose ones?

Ya... I hate loose... I mean "to lose connection"

 

[PottedMeat]

Skynet?

sweet

The Cisco Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line January 9th, 2010. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Cisco routers begin to learn at a geometric rate. They become self-aware at 5:00a.m. Eastern time, March 9th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Typo...they meant to say "charge the internet forever."

I've always had a feeling that the internet would turn into separated clouds/bubbles... whatever you want to call them. If you want social networking, you pay and subscribe to a social networking 'bubble' to get facebook, myspace.. etc. You want video and audio media, you subscribe to that bubble for unlimited music and video downloads. .... etc

Just a random thought..

I would have to pay for p0rn

They will probably unveil some new routers/algorithms that will allow efficient deep packet inspection at the behest of the government/MAFIAA.

I wish I was wrong, but I'm probably right.

 

[Delita]

Someone share after the say what it is.

 

[bignateyk]

It's gonna be lame, you can be sure of that.
