Network Break 437: Ethernet Turns 50; TSMC Imports Workers For Arizona Fab; BT, HPE Partner On Managed LAN

Today on the Network Break we argue over Roman numerals; discuss a significant, but probably limited, Cisco vulnerability; and ponder a new partnership between BT and HPE to manage your LAN. Broadcom (kinda) pledges to invest in the Spanish semiconductor industry, TSMC brings in specialists from Taiwan to build new fabs in Arizona, and Nokia brags about new distance and throughput milestones for Fixed Wireless Access. Last but not least, Greg wishes Ethernet an unhappy birthday.
