Unless they get overruled. The project I saw Huawei go into was a mixed 
environment for cellular and IP routing. The company decided to stick to 
one manufacturer. They apparently had issues with other gear handling 
their mobile stuff and Huawei came in at a good price.

Then I had to explain to their installers why they needed an area 0 
(which is funny, since I barely know anything of OSPF as I almost 
exclusively use ISIS). :(
