Cisco to sell videoconferencing box for the home
Cisco Systems Inc., seeking to become a bigger name in consumer electronics, said Wednesday that it’s going to start selling a $599 box that turns living-room TV sets into big videophones.
It’s the first entry by Cisco, the world’s largest maker of computer-networking gear, into a home videoconferencing market that’s been dominated by free, PC-oriented services such as Skype SA.
