both cisco and juniper do this as well.. with phone-home full show-tech-equivalent data collection systems... all pushed into an internal DB ready for marketing/etc... I'm sure other vendors (ALU/etc) all do this as well... the addition of 'Dedicated Support Engineers' sitting in your faciltiy is neat, but also not 'new' wrt cisco/juniper. (I also happen to think that this is probably the method most likely used to exfil data of interest)
