Want to Become a Service Provider CEO? Try Cisco’s New Simulation Game…

Looking to try your hand at being a CEO for a day without all the real life pressures? Here’s your chance. Cisco has a free Sim City type real time strategy simulation game called myPlanNet, you can download (only works on Windows though). If you want a preview before downloading (40mbs in size) the game, check out the YouTube video.

You have to register (if you don’t already have an account) to get the game, but it’s worth the hassle. The point of the game is to manage your service provider business as the CEO as it evolves from the dial-up, through to the broadband and mobile connected eras and into the future age of networking.

Cisco created the game as a marketing and educational tool and I’ll admit it is a lot more fun than reading a white paper. Check it out and let me know what you think.
