ONF, ON.Lab Merge to Accelerate SDN
I believe it is a good idea for them to join together because it will be the best solution I believe this is true. Here are my reason, 1. It will bring large amount of money to the company. 2. The customer's satisfaction will be a lot better. 3. The idea of both company's will come together and will be great. Those are my beliefs on what I thing about the ONF, ON.Lab Merge to Accelerate SDN.

Re: Bigness and system-gaming
This made sense on a lot of levels. I agree that it does need large players like AT&T, Verizon etc. to be successful. The end-game is deployments, so all of the open source groups have to pay attention to what actually works and is in the field. I think there will be more sorting out going forward.

Bigness and system-gaming
The reverse point is also true: the more big players come into the same tent, the harder it becomes for a few big players to game the system. (And once everyone is in the same tent, the system and the game are the same). Moscow didn't have much trouble dominating and commanding the seven-member Warsaw Pact in which it was by far the largest member; Washington had a much tougher time with the old NATO in which there were four other big-ish players and about a dozen smaller ones; and for good or ill, nobody really runs the UN.  Similarly, if SDN ends up all in one tent, there may be beneficiaries but there probably won't be dominators.
