Chinese networking equipment manufacturer Huawei Technologies is settling Cisco's patent infringement suit, promising to play nice. Basically, I think this is a major loss for Cisco, which can count on severe competition in Asia.
See, Huawei is also partnering with 3Com, partnering with Siemens as well as with other companies and can use everything it is learning from these partnerships to improve its products. It won't be long until the competition spreads globally, with Huawei bringing products to market everywhere.
