I work for BT. CCIE level skills are still in demand. You may very well find
yourself exposed to Juniper, Foundry, Alcotel etc across multiple
datacentres. ADSL technology is rather important. On top of that it helps
to demonstrate design experience, good team working and project lead skills.
The big whammy though is experience in this space, certifications and the
*business* has matured so expect to need to demonstrate experience to be
able to cherry pick jobs with large carriers.
