- "The customer response to our first Cisco EDGE QUEST Tournament was so
positive, with more than 40,000 players worldwide, that a tournament around
Cisco EDGE QUEST 2 was easy to plan," said Doug Webster, senior director of
service provider marketing for Cisco. "With Cisco EDGE QUEST, the player
is not only learning about the extraordinary capabilities of the Cisco ASR
9000 Series router but is also able to experience them in an interactive
way."
- "We've become a society where video and web 2.0 collaboration applications are shaping virtually all of the network experiences that we use throughout our daily lives," said Webster. "What we are attempting to do with the Cisco EDGE QUEST 2 Tournament is to showcase the innovative Cisco ASR 9000 Series router that is one of the many ways that Cisco is enabling those Connected Life experiences."
