NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Japan Airlines

Cisco
to buy Starent Networks for $2.9 billion
from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Cisco Systems
Inc. on Tuesday said it will acquire Starent Networks Corp. for
$2.9 billion, or $35 a share, in a move to expand the networking
giant's reach into the wireless market. The deal reflects a 21%
premium compared to Starent's closing price on Monday of $29.03.
Starent makes equipment used to help mobile carriers connect
wireless-phone customers to the Internet, one of the fastest
growing segments of the telecommunications market. Cisco said
the purchase would reduce earnings in 2010 and 2011 and begin
to add to profits starting in 2012. Starent, which went public
in 2007, is based in Tewksbury, Mass. It has about 1,000 employees
and generated $254 million in sales in fiscal 2008.
