When even NORAD and VISA have had problems maintaining diversity, I find it hard to believe it is a simple as saying the key is to be an educated buyer. Heck, I know major, major carriers which have wiped out all the circuits to their own NOC.
I don't mean to understate the difficulty of maintaining diversity, or the willingness of carriers to dodge the issue. I've been screwed my share of times on "diverse" circuits. You have to take that into account, and plan for it -- hopefully a carrier or two lying shamelessly about diversity is part of the buyer's education. -travis
