Motorola needs to come up with an answer for Cisco's buyout of Scientific-Atlanta, although the billions of $$$ it would take to buy Juniper may make some Motorola shareholders balk. So you have a dilemma: Motorola needs a new growth avenue other than phones and it needs to stave off Cisco as a new threat, BUT just how much can they spend to do it? They really SHOULD go after Juniper and bite the bullet with the strong leadership like Zander has proven. Will they? There are rumors that they are meeting this month, but most research reports refute it. If you get any dirt or scuttlebutt please do pass it along. -JON OGG; News Contrast, Inc.; CHICAGO, IL USA If Juniper is going to be gobbled it would most likely be by the likes of a Motorola, but even that is a stretch if you look at published research over opinions or rumors.
