The sourceVendor claimed to have 10 customers, 5 were named.
One implementation was O-UNI version of LMP, so does not do
all the things described in current LMP draft.

All in all quite a set if "implementations underway".

Would have been good to see some more responses from Carriers or ISPs
Feel free to send your continued responses and I will try to keep
the list up to date.
