Abstract We obtain some results on product spaces. Among them we prove that for noncompact spaces X 1 and X 2 , the norm of every linear extension operator from C ( β ( X 1 × X 2 ) β ( X 1 × X 2 )) into C ( β ( X 1 × X 2 )) is greater or equal than 2, and also that β ( X 1 × X 2 ) β ( X 1 × X 2 ) is not a neighborhood retract of β ( X 1 × X 2 ).
