Big Blue has been eyeing a wireless software company called Vallent Corp., and is
working to close a deal for early 2007. Vallent, a software company from Washington that develops network monitoring tools for wireless service providers, has developed software that is capable of monitoring traffic, identifying network bottlenecks, and protect against any service interruptions. Vallent's current high profile customer list currently includes Cingular, Nextel, Lucent and Motorola. IBM says that this deal will give the company key technologies that will increase the amount of consumer and corporate data that is transmitted wirelessly. IBM plans to integrate Vallent's software with IBM's Tivoli Netcool line.

What does this have to do with Download Squad? It doesn't sound like Vallent makes a consumer-level product, but instead is associated with lots of companies that we might have heard about and that this business deal won't be translating into anything, if at all, for us readers for quite a while.
