 trade as well, which may affect future business and foreign investment in their respective countries. U.S. and foreign policy changes and uncertainty about such changes has resulted in increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. To the extent dissatisfaction with U.S. government policy results in U.S.-based suppliers being disfavored over foreign-based alternatives, it may diminish demand for our products with such customers and cause them to find alternative sourcing or otherwise make it more difficult for us to sell more products to these customers.

As a result of these dynamics, we may find it difficult to predict the impact to our business of these and future changes to the trading relationships between the U.S. or other countries or the impact on our business of new laws or regulations adopted by the U.S. or other countries.

If we do not successfully execute our business strategy to increase our sales to new and existing BXPs, our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and long-term growth may be negatively impacted.

Our growth depends upon our ability to increase sales to existing and new service providers of all types and sizes, and the execution of our strategy to increase sales to BXPs involves significant risk.

A large portion of our current sales are to customers with smaller regional networks and limited capital expenditure budgets. The spending patterns of many of these customers are generally less formal than larger service providers and often characterized by small and sporadic purchases, and the potential revenue from any one of these customers is limited. We rely primarily on channel partners, including value added resellers, internationally and for certain U.S. markets. We face fierce competition for business with key channel partners. If we are unable to engage channel partners, we may fail to grow our sales, or our sales may be reduced. Furthermore, we rely on our channel partners to promote and sell our products. The loss of a key channel partner or the failure of our partners to provide adequate services could have a negative effect on customer satisfaction and could cause harm to our business.

Our selling efforts to larger broadband service providers require substantial
