The question is whether you consider MPLS to be a public network. The
vendors market it as a private network. It both is and isn't. All I can
tell you is that banks and other financial institutions within North
America heavily use MPLS -- and I gather some even use it without IPSec
or other crypto (which, I personally, think is dumb).

Let me put it this way: MPLS is at least as secure as VSAT, maybe even
more so. So if your regulators like VSAT, they should love MPLS w/ IPSec.
