TeliaSonera is deploying an Ethernet, leased line and IP-VPN aggregation solution based on Cisco 7600 Series Routers to provide business IP and MPLS services. The deployment is an extension of TeliaSonera’s MPLS-based core network, which is already supported by the Cisco 12000 Series Router. The new architecture will help TeliaSonera to enhance its relationship with customers by delivering advanced MPLS Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services. In addition to business IP/MPLS services, Cisco 7600 Series Routers are also providing Broadband Aggregation for Ethernet based access both over DSL and fiber-to-the-home/business. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.cisco.com

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about MPLS. Here is what it replaced:
Frame Relay served 1990–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Frame Relay switched variable-length frames over pre-provisioned permanent virtual circuits, dropping X.25's per-hop error correction (links were now clean) and pushing recovery to the endpoints for far higher throughput. Its job passed to MPLS — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
