As an under-30, working in the industry, I have to say, when the power goes out at home for a few days, we pull out the camping gear. When our cable-based internet goes out, our life changes hardly at all. We go for a walk, or hike, do the things we would normally. I can imagine that an outage of 1 week would be slightly different, but I'm pretty sure that the spans of most of the outages which would be resolved by multi-provider solutions like those outlined herein would probably only apply to situations where the outage would only last less than 48 hours.

When?When the older generation that considers the Internet a side show dies off. When your grandparents' power went out, they broke out candles and kerosene lamps. When yours goes out, you pull out flashlights and generators. And when it stays out you book a motel room so your family can have air conditioning and television. For most folks under 30 and many who are older, Internet isn't a side show, it's a way of life. An outage is like a power failure or the car going kaput: a major disruption to life's flow. This need won't be ubiquitous for two to three decades, but every year between now and then the percentage of your customer base which demands unabridged connectivity will grow. What do you have in the pipeline to address that demand as it arrives? BGP multihoming won't get the job done for the hundred million households in North America, let alone the seven billion people in the world. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
