This is interesting. It seems like a large bureaucracy like cisco recognized it's own flaws and used this method to get around the institutionalized toxicity to crazy ideas. You get to leave all the friction of creating new ideas in a large org behind. The price seems incredibly steep vs just creating a company that is friendly to new ideas (of course creating such a company is no easy task).
