The larger story here is...

"7. Routing.  Routers connect T-Mobile’s LTE towers to T-Mobile’s LTE
network.  These routers utilize a routing protocol called Open
Shortest Path First."

you can blow it with is-is, just as you can with ospf, just as you can
with pretty much any dynamic [routing] protocol.  though i am an is-is
fanboy, i would not blame the protocol.  and if they can not manage the
currently deployed protocol, i am not sure i would recommend they try a
delicate transition.
