mindmeld, Actually your position is valid but so is Telecomguys' to a certain degree. CSCO's business is targeted at developing and delivering usable interent systems to customers - it's an edge orientation where service delivery, differentiation, and revenue generation from it are key. WIth that in mind Cisco has a vested interest in demonstrating the best IT/web based sales system on the planet - so they keep this in house. For NT their focus in on long haul optics and is not really targeted on services. Yes they tell the story but only so much as it helps their optical story - so it's not the focus of the business. In their case demonstrating an end user system is probably not as important. OG
