Of course not, but THEY require others to not talk about used hardware and 
software because they fear. And they really believe it helps :)

In Poland actually the "hated" Polish Telecom have best managed IP

Polish Telecom have really little competition.

They invested millions of dollars each for hardware, but not employees.
