Hi

Depending on witch SP you are talking about, if it is Broadband Services SP
then yes you will have advantage in knowing all the technology and
interaction between services what Enterprise voice mean.

but if you are referring to Traffic Exchange SP then the answer is no and
you will have slight disadvantage as the Enterprise incorporate many
Services and Features and daily problems (mostly networking problems) and
security and off course voice quality problems, that are all slightly
ignored in Traffic Exchange SP.
