Someone should start a database, where you enter information of where a fiber cut took place, what end points were effected, and start building correlations. That might be somewhat interesting.

Russia, Iraq, North Korea, or who ever is the designated rogue country this week probably has a copy; but us network engineers aren't allowed to see it. The NCS supposedly has a database showing all AT&T, MCI, Sprint and LEC fiber routes in the country so when the Pentagon orders diverse circuits to a missle silo, they know if it is really diverse. But that doesn't help for the new carriers, with cheap bandwidth, which much of the Internet seems to use.
