Can anyone point me to a list that has status and advance failure announcements for the service providers whether ISP or NSP? I would also be interested in announcements on major policy changes that affect the internet community. Please respond to me directly as I will be removing my subscription from this list. Do you run a regional, national, or international network who's traffic to and from my institution would be impacted by failures in transit? Do you operate a large commercial service that suffers an occasional outage (Internic, AOL, ...)? If so, then I would be interested in subscribing to your status announcement lists. The nanog list has had a few good pearls out there during the MAE-WEST outages, and the various WorldCom fiber cuts around the country, but recently the discussions have degraded into a less than productive list with a fairly high amount of noise.
