Well, you can extend your MPLS-based services outside your domain
through an NNI. Fair point, you generally won't run MPLS with your NNI
partner, but they will carry your services across their own MPLS network
toward their destination on the B-end.
With such an arrangement, one can co-ordinate that capabilities between
different networks are mirrored even though there isn't end-to-end
control for either NNI partner.
