Couple of quick points. In rough times businesses look for way to cut expenses - that's the fastest way to improve the bottom line. Web enablement is one of, if not the best way, to cut costs. Web precense is one of, if not the best way, to get new customers at low cost. Cost advantage is one of, if not the best way, to beat your competitors - this is especially true in the carrier markets. Domestic interest rate increases will have little effect internationally. China, India, Philipines, Korea, Easteren European build-outs have really not even started yet. To think that interest rates are going to have a material effect on market/product line that only serves to corporations cost and competitive advantages seems to miss the point of what this high-tech stuff is all about.
