>From GEOFF@Sri-Csl Mon Mar 8 16:11:10 1982 March BYTE, p 437 A report issued by Strategic Incorporated, a market-research firm in San Jose, California, predicts Xerox Corporation's Ethernet local area network will be a total failure within two years. According to Strategic's president, Michael Killen, "Xerox is headed for the worst failure in the company's history." He believes that Xerox lacks technological and price advantages, sales force, and customers interested in buying large systems. Fuerther, he contents that Ethernet's baseband approach to local networking will prove inferior over the long haul to the broadband approach taken by Xerox's competitors. He points out that broadband systems are better suited to carry video, heavy voice and data transmissions, among other applications.
