I cant say im surprised but in this day and age i suspect there will be 
far less technical synergies than anyone is hoping for.

I suspect this bodes best for Metaswitch and netsapiens as some SP's 
will undoubtedly reconsider BSFT as a platform strategy.

Also directly from the article:

        "BroadSoft provides software and services that enable mobile, 
fixed-line and cable service providers to offer so-called unified 
communications over their internet protocol networks." ... ouch

Any other thoughts?
