Is it just me or does the report you sight say. in his opinion, 71% of outages where in the carrier's control. I think you kinda left that word opinion out of your statement.

Several people asked me for a citation for my report that 71% of the outages were within the carrier's control.

See ftp://ftp.atis.org/pub/nrsc/2mins2q2000.pdf item #74.

You can also see the corresponding debate over what "control" meant.
