[AusNOG] Cisco Pricing.. blah

[Phillip Grasso]

This is common practice for Cisco, earlier this decade they raised prices
substantially on the basis of dollar changes, but when the currency came
back to favorable state, Cisco keep the higher prices. Probably do the same
thing in their situation and Cisco could probably justify it if their value
proposition is beyond price (if it wasn't i'd assume Huawei would do more
damage to their market share).
