Chambers: No mega acquisitions for now

By Jim Duffy on Wed, 08/06/08 - 5:23pm.

So we shouldn't expect a mega acquisition by Cisco anytime soon. According to Reuters, Cisco CEO John Chambers said no negotiations with large companies are underway at the moment, but that the company would "never say never." We guess that puts paid to the recent delicious rumor of Cisco buying EMC. Instead, Cisco is focused on small and midsized buys.
