A significant part of its revenue comes from selling cables, wiring and overpowered routers than Cisco thinks you need. Cisco downplaying of Wi-Fi traffic projections is nothing new nor shocking. Their survival as a cable seller depends on it.

I’ve heard 150,000 – 200,000 WiFi, and I was curious how good those numbers were.
