Is that "100% of carriers report implementing firewalls in 100% of their 
gateways" or "100% of carriers report implementing firewalls in at least 
one gateway"?  I suspect that it's closer to the later than the former, and 
that it includes firewalls located at gateways on the *customer* side of 
the circuit (managed IP services, including managing customer routers and 
firewalls).
