I'd argue that the difference is semantics.  If their network team or
billing team or product team or some other back-end team is unwilling, then
their sales team is unable.  However, given the talks I've had with Telstra
account management, the answer is still unable I believe, as there are
issues they need to solve (not necessarily technology ones) before they can
turn it on.

On 3G/4G, as far as the customer/partner is concerned, their answer is
"no".  On other networks, they can (and do) do it.
