VSNL has teamed up with Cisco Systems for its broadband network. The deal is estimated at about 500 crores which translates to about $110 million. VSNL will deploy Cisco’s Metro Ethernet products. I guess all that sucking up is finally paying off for Cisco sales team. Lots of switches and routers are being sold for this six-city rollout which can handle a million customers. Incidentally, Cisco celebrated its 10th birthday in India on October 28.
Cisco’s big win in India

Asinine approach by VSNL chasing the few customers pie in the big cities; what are they going to offer? Mbps speeds with download caps?The real market is in hinterland.
