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.
