I have not seen the NRIC report either. I am working on finding its status. Focus Group III of NRIC is the Focus Group working on this issue. Subcommittee 2 is looking at future considerations. This is the subcommittee that came up with the recommendation to have a trial period of ISP outage reporting. This Subcommittee is headed I believe by PJ Auduskevicz at ATT. According to FG III's calendar, http://www.atis.org/atis/nric/calsub2.htm, Subcommittee 2 met on 11/22. The NRSC met on 11/23. I am making an assumption that they were going to release the report on ISP outage reporting after these meetings. FG III's information is not on the NRIC page, it is on the ATIS page and can be found at http://www.atis.org/atis/nricgr3.htm Comments are due on the report in the beginning of December. If you are intersted in commenting on the report, let me know, and I will try to find out where to direct your comments. -Bob Cannon rcannon@fcc.gov ------Original Message------ From: Sean Donelan <sean@donelan.com> As Bob Cannon pointed out, the FCC is starting a "voluntary" project where ISPs would also file outage reports. So expect ISPs to start redefining things to avoid filing an outage report. I suspect that was also the reason why AT&T Wireless didn't initially file a report after Rochelle Park, although Bell Atlantic did. Wireless, cable, pager, satellite are treated seperately in the FCC regulations. The ISP reporting regulations were supposed to be posted on the FCC web site today, but I haven't found them yet. __________________________________________________ FREE Email for ALL!
