The benefit of Stagecoach doing so, could be felt across their network - particularly when two operators are needed to complete a journey currently.
You might be surprised how the Sunderland smart zone ticket is taking off. The all operater ticket is hitting Network Ticketing as you only need the £13.50 smart zone for inter operator use and not a network travel ticket, on the other hand this means Nexus get a smaller cut from NTL with no metro percentage included.

Not related to the thread but in reply to the above. Smart ticketing isn't benefiting all as suggested. I work in Metrocentre but love in South Shields so I have no choice but to purchase network travel ticket. Along with many others.
