That's the Cisco way!!

They're not content to charge a premium price for their hardware; they 
make you pay for their bugfixes, too.

In the ideal world companies that treat their customers this way would 
not be able to compete, but Cisco's de facto monopoly in the router 
market allows them to treat their customers as if they were their inmates.

Not much choice until somebody else comes along with something as good 
or better for the same price, and makes them compete.
