Considering the level of problems we have had today and earlier in the week, I am impressed by how resiliant the net actually has been. Not that I like the heavy hits we've been taking. But the old beastie seem pretty tough.
True...now that I stop and think about it, it's amazing how well things are rerouting around the problem areas. OTOH, I think it'd be a really cool (if expensive) idea for somebody to start a telco which would run its own fiber that is /never/ (or very rarely) right next to anybody else's. This could be so hard as to be near unfeasable, but I can see a pretty big market for such lines among NSP's. ********************************************************* J.D.
