There are talks on more control from applications to the networks.

IMHO, this is more of a misunderstanding than anything else.

First, many DC operators have leased the circuits or built the network.
They have every right to decide the policy at edge and aggregate traffic
onto the network they lease or own. Second, I think that the service
providers would have no problem to expedite the BW provisioning process
when a customer is asking for more, but no service provider to my best
knowledge would allow the customers to alter the routes inside their
networks.

So deep-control to me means a cleaner, simpler and faster way to
provisioning network resources through a consistent interface.
