Frank, a couple of thoughts/ questions on service interruptions, terrestrial and subsea. Am i understanding the news story you posted correctly? Message 11404556 A cable in Ohio was cut and the traffic was rerouted through London and Denmark. Don't carriers generally purchase capacity on other networks to insure against this type of event? The reason i ask is because, at the Glider Conference, Gary Winnick said a rule of thumb for international carriers is that at least 30% of capacity should be purchased on a separate network. Is that true? If so, it would seem reasonable to apply the same rule to terrestrial networks, no? Winnick also mentioned that the English Channel is the most frequent place where anchors snag cables. He said service calls are around $700,000 per cable.
