That's a huge statement coming from a CEO at a major corporation. Breaking down the debate society and moving toward open source is like demolishing a building. They are breaking down those old, tired walls with sledghammers and just going for it. Gone are the days where middle management just "freezes." Kudos to AT&T for its efforts. Soon, it will be an entirely new organization, hopefully with more women batting for the fences.

As we incresingly build models of solutions and apply technology it will provide the proof of concept and advance the opportunities.

I think that is what AT&T is doing is building the platforms that enable them to deliver what is working for their customers. I think they will succeed with this full capability solution, as opposed to an "either/or" option. Don't you?

Keep what is usable and valuable for AT&T.

He truly understands the difference between transformation - to fully use the value of technology - versus development - trying to just change the outcomes. Open source provides a new synergy that the isolated communications channels cannot match. Building this new platform, and layering new open source evolutions that "apply" the platform to the users' needs makes great sense. AT&T is definitely showing the leadership qualities you outline - they deserve to be a leading innovator and to reap the rewards.
