Well, the ability to operate without a typical control plane means telco's don't need to support IP to implement MPLS-TP (although I'd be hard-pressed to find any that don't or don't plan to). Talking to some industry colleagues during a previous community meeting, they'd be eager to have MPLS-TP because it removes the IP/MPLS bloat, allows them to maintain some kind of TDM/SDH/SONET mechanisms (they're wary about the "freedom of packet"), has reasonable plans for OAM, and most of all, along with Ethernet, let's them scale the bandwidth layer and make it more granular in ways established telco transport technologies can't. Cheers, Mark.
