If their house of cards collapses too quickly it could have some serious operational impacts. And we all do realize that it is a house of cards, don't we?
This is a request for consideration of a technical and operations question. Although it pertains to a political topic, I am only asking for consideration of a matter that is clearly relevant to nanog. In particular, what are the 'serious operational impacts' that could develop? There is a long-standing claim that services of the type offered by NSI are fine left without special handling (oversight, assistance). To the extent that problems to such a company can have far-reaching impact on Internet operations, it would be extremely helpful to understand them before the fact. This might permit consideration of methods to avoid such fall-out. d/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dave Crocker Tel: +1 408 246 8253 Brandenburg Consulting Fax: +1 408 273 6464 675 Spruce Drive <http://www.brandenburg.com> Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA <mailto:dcrocker@brandenburg.com>
