There is another point here. For anyone signing contracts where the buyer has significant bargaining power with the seller, you can specifically stipulate that connectivity to the seller's network is not-good-enough to save them from paying an SLA event or indeed breaching the contract. (What is good enough is left as an exercise to the reader). Sellers may wish to push that risk onto the buyer's, but if history is any judge, buyer's are remiss in accepting that liability and risk without a significant financial incentive. (such as a huge discount over prevailing rates). Deepak
