Allow me to clarify what I meant by:

"There are many technologies ... and some of them are not interchangeable."

The term "technology" embodies not only the software written into the logic that drives a network's gears, but also the governance and philosophical underpinnings that drive its design, as well. Consider "technology" a metaphor that represents architecture, which includes all of the physical and administrative aspects of a network. The foregoing should not be interpreted to mean that multiple technologies (or architectures) could not coexist over the same physical wires, because they can. There are numerous ways to achieve this through time division and wavelength division multiplexing, for example. It's when the administrative rules and expectations that apply to one of those discrete architectures becomes compromised for the benefit of the vested interests of the other that we begin to have issues.
