Mobile Traffic Management – Cisco and Juniper Upgrade Solutions

As if the indications we saw so far for the exponential growth in mobile data traffic were not enough (see the recent Allot MobileTrends report), we got the final proof – the switching giants will not leave this space to small-medium size players – so it must be a big space ..

• Cisco made its move a while ago by acquiring Starnet, for $2.9B. The router giant acquired a router company .. ! Today, Cisco (or, “Starent, now part of Cisco”) is hosting a webinar on “How You Can Supercharge the Mobile Internet - what's next will help you enable new services, reduce costs, and transform business.”).
   
• Juniper is expected to unveil new software , Juniper Traffic Direct , “which, used together with its MX 3D routers, can help mobile carriers reduce network congestion and infrastructure costs”

Lots of excitement for the upcoming World Mobile Congress 2010 next week!

Where is Network Neutrality with all this?
