No idea about direct evidence, but I would be surprised if it were not 
true.  A core of Narus' business is selling high performance 
surveillance boxes for exactly this kind of use -- they are the folks 
who built the box that was found in an AT&T backbone data center closet 
in 2006.  Interestingly for this case, Narus was founded by a couple of 
Israelis.

Here's a post I wrote about Narus a couple years ago:

Glancing at that post, I see that Narus listed Telecom Egypt as one of 
its representative customers.
