Detecon, Inc., a leading global telecommunications and information technology consultant, commented on the pending $6.9 billion acquisition by Cisco of Scientific-Atlanta, the world's second-largest producer of Cable Set-Top Boxes behind Motorola.
"The acquisition makes sense both tactically and strategically," said Eckart Pech, CEO of Detecon, Inc. "The move compensates for Cisco's inability to play a significant role in Telco infrastructure build-outs aimed at offering a full portfolio combining voice telephony, video entertainment, high-speed internet access and wireless services."
