Could be a few different reasons. a) Curiousity b) Concern it may have a root cause shared by other providers c) Lack of notification via formal channels d) Spite e) All of the above What's the only thing worse for a network engineer than having his network crash? No one noticing it crashed. I'm really surprised more providers haven't figured out one way to keep people from posting about their outages is by setting up peering agreements with NDA's and then keeping the other providers informed about problems. Of course if there isn't an NDA or they learn about the outage from other sources, they are free to inform the world about the outage. Oh well, another Sprint exec Gerry Degruiter is going to stop by next week. I hope he can tell me why our Sprint line failed last November, no one else has been willing too.
