Don't get me started on SDN :-).

Always amazes me how forgetful our industry is, especially 
if you don't actually operate or engineer the network.

Key to success will be to find a way to do this on grey 
optics. I don't think that this being only available on 
colored waves/optics will be feasible, unless colored optics 
somehow become much more affordable.

In the mean time, development of protocols in the IETF space 
is what most of us shall live on.
