Frame-relay outage: Nolo Contendere

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

Intersting cover letter included with SBC's FCC Outage report on Friday's
frame-relay problems in California and Nevada.

"Attached please find an Initial Service Disruption Report by SBC Advanced
Solutions, Inc (SBC-ASI) This report is submitted on an informational basis,
and without admission that the provisions of 47 CFR 63.100 are appliaable
to SBC-ASI or to the services provided by SBC-ASI."

I note that both Worldcom and AT&T filed FCC initial outage reports
about their frame-relay and ATM network problems, and final outage
reports without such words in their cover letter.
