Re: Cisco moves even more to china.

Hmm..we're flooded by CCNA's and CCNP's that often hardly know how logon
to a router as it is, so this will probably add a lot more, a bit like
the MCSE craze a few years ago ;-)
When they say training thousands of students, they're not talking
thousands of CCIE-level specialists that actually know what they're
doing. 
If anything it looks like we should feel sorry for people working
production for Cisco since it looks like production will be completely
based in China in the not too far future.

Cheers,

Erik
