Only rumours but one I keep hearing, Cisco will outsource the european side of NDS - essentially running down the SPVSS business unit they spent so much money acquiring.
It has not happened yet but if it does it would be the admission that this was an example of buying something they had no idea of how to run.
A lot of the "leaders" bought in to run SPVSS were either quietly fired "looking for other opportunities" in Cisco speak. Or ran back to the US when they realised the company was never going to make the acquisition work.
Watch this space. I still think the smart money would be to sell it on to someone who cares (e.g Sky), rather than to some bottom line maintaining out source cowboys.
