Cisco has announced three additions to its ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers System portfolio, and while, like all of its new releases, the latest service provider offerings are IPv6-ready, it’s the mobile solution that is expected to be the big draw initially. The network giant says the proliferation of mobile Internet services and devices such as tablets and smartphones are fueling demand for bandwidth and quality experiences.

Get 200GB of Cloud Storage Free, With a Catch
You can find gigabytes upon gigabytes of free online storage from a variety of sites and services. Only one, though, is offering a massive 200GB of cloud storage at no charge.
Symform announced that customers can get up to 200GB of free storage, but there’s a catch…or two. Users start with 100GB, and can earn the additional 100GB–10GB at a time–through a referral program. Setting up a Symform account also requires you to contribute unused space from your local storage.

1. No limit. I’ll admit I can get a bit wordy at times (settle down–that’s enough out of you), but it is very annoying to type out a status update and have it rejected because it exceeds some arbitrary character limit.
