Cisco is trying to do some ‘viral marketing’ and have developed a game where you can win a $35k Cisco router or $10k in Cash.“What could the winner do with a Cisco ASR 1002 router? The question is really more what can’t you do with it,” said Webster. “You could donate it to your local university or Cisco Networking Academy or use it to train for Cisco Networking Certifications; you could get in serious favor and become part of your company’s lore by giving it to the IT department; or you could use it to have unmatched bragging rights as owner of absolutely the most powerful, awe-inspiring home network in your city!”
