    HP BUYS 3COM FOR $2.7Bil.
    Next big tech rivalry: HP vs. Cisco
    Hewlett-Packard has agreed to buy 3Com for about US$2.7
    billion, pushing forward the giant IT vendor’s strategy for combining
    computing, storage, services and networking under one roof. The deal has
    been approved by both companies’ boards of directors and is expected to
    close in the first half of next year. HP is offering $7.90 per share
    for 3Com, about $2 per share above the stock’s price of $5.69 at the
    close of trading on Wednesday. U.S. and foreign regulatory approvals
    will be required. 3Com will add to HP’s Ethernet switching portfolio,
    which is already a growing competitor to Cisco Systems, and add routing
    products to its lineup.
