Charles, Actually this is an argument I made - that service providers resell to enterprise customers sometimes and Nortel would have know who the ultimate customer is in order to report revenues based upon customer. HOWEVER, a sale to a carrier which has as a destination an enterprise customer is enterprise business. Of course this all gets somewhat complicated... which is why Nortel, Lucent, Cisco, and other large comapnies that have multiple product lines arrange and report revenues for their product lines along market segments - typically carrier and enterprise,... and consumer in some cases...
