NCI's client list (past and present) includes:
Alcatel, Allstream, Bell, Cogeco, Core180, Ericsson, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia Siemens, Rogers, Telus, Videotron, Vodafone, Ontario Minsitry of Health, Hospital for Sick Children, British Petroleum, Syncrude, Talisman Energy, BMO, CIBC, RBC, StatsCan...as well as a variety of international government agencies
I'm sure a few of those company's names might ring a bell with you.
