	Description:		Take a Network Break! On today’s show we look at OpenStack’s embrace by telcos and service providers, including an ambitious roll out by Verizon. We read the tea leaves on another VMware executive departure, and peer into the minds of tech sales people. Comcast is increasing its data cap in selected U.S. cities, but watch out for overage charges! Riverbed launches its new SD-WAN product line, and stealthy startup Innovium settles a Broadcom lawsuit, about which we speculate wildly. Samsung amps ups its cloud IoT capabilities, and we look at a prediction about hundreds of thousands of tech layoffs lurking in 2016. Last but not least, we include a lighting round of financial results for SecureWorks, Fortinet, Barracuda Networks, Juniper Networks, and Gigamon.
