network security is a "loss center".  not just a cost center, a
*loss* center.  non-bankrupt ISP's whose investors will make good
multiples only staff their *profit* centers.
this glib statement may have been true at the isps where you worked.  it
is not true for the ones where i work(ed).
It is true at every ISP I have ever encountered.  I do not consider the 
statement glib.

well, i guess some of us are pickier than others, and have the luck of
having choices.
