To be more clear, I'm specifically referring to Gigabit Ethernet Converters and not
SFPs for POS or SONET. So, to reprhase, where in your network topology, are you
using Gigabit Ethernet, specifically GE interfaces using GBICS?
Are you using GE primarily for customer connections, server connections, peering points
etc. ?
Thanks to all who have already replied privately.

I think you already got your answer...
Most people using GigE, are using GBIC's.
I don't think I've ever seen SONET gear with replaceable interfaces...
Are you using GE primarily for customer connections, server connections,
peering points etc. ?
I think anyone who's willing to pay for, or can justify GigE, is going to
get a GigE connection.
I'm just curious as to what kind of question it is... apologies if I sound rude
to you.. but...
What difference does this question make from following:
"I am doing a research about GigE connectivity. How many people use Gigabit
PCI NIC's in their servers, and where in your systems division do you use them
the most??"
GigE is gives you.. 1 gigabit of connectivity. So.. anything that requires more
than 100baseTX bandwidth, and with shorter distance, anyone would use GE whether
its customer, peering, backbone, workstation, or even home computer, whatever
works. Ethernet is all about Al Cheapo port cost at fast speeds
