It is not uncommon for a fiber cut to take out multiple carriers. With all the new fiber being laid, the swapping of fiber allows carriers to swap their fiber with other carriers whose fiber is not in an area where they have a presence. This will become more of a problem moving forward. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Alex Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 7:24 PM To: Simon Lockhart Cc: Rusty H.

Telcos all run thier own fiber in thier own conduits, and protect it using SONET. Bahahhahahahahha. Yeah, right. Apparently, there was a cut on a route that took out a variety of carriers; someone I know who has a OC12 riding on Broadwing was down for a little while. Someone should start a database, where you enter information of where a fiber cut took place, what end points were effected, and start building correlations. That might be somewhat interesting.
