Networking systems is a commodity in this industry. 11% is quite respectable. The bulk of the network systems needs to be in the service/consulting business of these network system as you look at CISCO investing in PKMG, IBM Global Services Network services...etc. As matter of fact, IBM totally got out of the business of manufacturing Network systems business, this should tell you the industry trend. And I believe that 3com is ramping up its professional service. If you will look at the PC industry, it's the same thing. PC companies are jumping on the bandwagon on professional service and ISP service business to get repeatable revenue streams.
