It looks as though SBC technology would be best applied inside other networking gear, like firewalls and switches, it shouldn't surprise anyone when existing network equipment companies begin to buy the SBC vendors.

why would anyone buy?
this stuff is not complicated to build. But execs would see it the opposite way - why build when you can buy? Nextone and Acme rule this market.
