We want to get market share now. We see a growing opportunity in Managed Services with a sizeable market to capture. There has been a gradual move to outsourcing within all carriers, driven by requirements for financial and operational performance, innovation, and time-to-market. In addition, at the macro level, the total services spend is gradually shifting from internal to external spend. This is a major transformation for our industry and we are committed to addressing it.

Hosted Services represent a major growth opportunity for Lucent if we capture market share quickly. We want to be a player. We want to capture more than our "fair share." Many analysts believe that Hosted VoIP services will have much higher penetration than Centrex ever did.
