Which operators will offer this (backed by some underwritten insurance) in an effort to be better than the competition ?Buying car insurance doesn't alter the chances of your car breaking down on a long trip. Insurance doesn't alter the chances of something bad happening. Driver training, seat belts, and spare tires are things which can reduce risk. A warranty is not a substitute for due dilegence. How can you perform due dilegence on a carrier? With a car, you can open the trunk and check the spare tire. What is the best way to check a spare circuit?
To me, the diverse route *is* the safety belt. If it does not work when it is supposed to, I (or my mourning relatives) will sue the car companies arse off - if the attribution for the failure rests with a design of manufacturing flaw. Safety / Seat belts are not decoration - and neither should a diverse route or protection circuit be. (Yes, my English can boldly go... but I am still waiting for the coffee to finish.) Peter
