Yes, I rather think that you've drawn comparison to "consumer" as being in a home somewhere.
Someone that consumes a circuit, and someone that provides the service (or resells one). A business customer is a consumer in that case - I won't discriminate against what use someone has for wanting to consume bandwidth between countries, but I do think the specificity here is in whether you intend to just use it, or resell it, and that's where the difference comes in relation to Robert's point.
We see both use-cases, where businesses (enterprise) consume, and operators resell. Ultimately, it's about not boxing everything into a definition, especially if it meets your needs. Just like how our idea of a core or peering router vs. a vendor's idea of a core or peering router might differ :-). Mark.
