Actually, I worked for Cisco for two years. I think that puts me in a bit of a better position to say than you. Most of what makes Cisco Cisco is IOS. If IOS was open, everyone could use it and people would undercut Cisco on hardware. This may sound great to you, since Cisco would have to drive prices down to compete. So yeah, OSS would be great for you there, but my point stands that Cisco wouldn't be what it is today. It would be far less profitable.
