The biggest users of vendor financing are in rough order:

1. Wireless carriers
2. CLECs
3. Alternative backbone carriers
4. ISPs

Cisco finances alot of GSR120xx's and as optical and 3G wireless backbones get to be a real business for Cisco, financing will become a bigger deal. As Gary correctly indicates, most of Cisco's sales are to Fortune 1000 enterprise accounts which pay in cash and on time. It allows Cisco to be a bit aggressive in playing the financing card to win carrier business as it is still a small enough category that the pristine balance sheet is not really in danger.
