  On the one hand, it is highly advisable to protect your routers, 
mail servers, and so on.

  On the other hand, a firewall at *your* borders is not the right 
solution for your "corporate customers", since it doesn't protect 
them from any of your other customers.  I don't think it would be 
responsible to tout this solution to them as fulfilling their 
security needs.
