1. Please refer to prior comment 6. It is still unclear to us how you have determined that the hardware does not have value on a standalone basis, based on the guidance in EITF 00-21.

Tell us whether a customer could resell the equipment to another customer and whether the other customer could then obtain the required services from you.
