Re: Fwd: Bell Atlantic - Just a little congestion (corrected URL)
Is there a FCC URL where the required "oops" report will appear?
Well, there may not be any report filed. The FCC reporting criteria are designed for POTS failures, i.e. lots of analog phone lines. Although thousands of T3s were affected by this, its not clear if 30,000 customers were affected. Remember, resellers like Northpoint or an ISP only count as a single BA customer. Other carriers do the same thing. For example, as far as I can tell MCI Worldcom never filed an outage report for their frame-relay outage this summer, I suppose because only 3,000 customers were affected. And remember, it was just some "congestion," not an outage. If one is filed, it will show up at the following URL in 1-2 months. http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Filings/Network_Outage/

There are other gems within. 99-187 details how they could not page the splicing crew as Guess What was running on the damaged fiber bundle...
