>> NT telecom v. networking revenue <<

Sorry for my delay in responding. I've been traveling.

The current breakdown between NT's revenue between its Service Provider & Carrier group (telecom) and Enterprise group (networking) is roughly 80-20. Due to the huge growth in optical sales, I imagine that this breakdown will become even more heavily weighted toward "telecom" revenue -- albeit in leading edge areas. A future challenge for the company (apart from continuing to capitalize on fiber optic growth) is to figure out how to leverage this fiber optic strength to support/grow other businesses such as wireless. Overall, however, NT's future product strategy in all areas is directed toward capitalizing on the growth of data traffic and the Internet. This covers a lot of territory.
