Headlines
Good afternoon,

Today Linksys and Cisco revealed a new set of voice and data products for the “fragmented” SMB market which the companies claim will save money on phone bills and are easily-installed.

ITnews has also gained insight into a mixed bag of local reactions regarding the pending Avaya buy-out; the telecommunications giant is set to be purchased by a group of financial services companies in the US for $9.7 billion.
