Frank, as usual, you have eloquently expanded and explained in better detail things that I just touched on as an overview.

The short answer to your question about stipulating a programmable switch instead of a normal switch was just to illustrate where the switch (programmable in this case) would fit into the network and call completion flow. It was because we were discussing programmables, but as you state, a traditional non-programmable would work in these situations. The programmable is easier to get provisioned for a start up, more flexible. The ability to assign and change features on the fly is quite valuable for the start up. I agree with all your points regarding why to use programmables and the advantages they bring to operators. The traditional switch with its grossly expensive, fixed software generic has very little (although getting better) flexibility.
