That only matters when somebody is looking for an opportunity to legislate. You're right: administrators, regulators, and representatives are completely helpless except when making laws, and the reconnection of services (ref: "Because Internet users, apparently without notice from Cogent and through no fault of their own, have been impacted, Level 3 has, effective immediately, re-established a free connection to Cogent.") can just as easily be attributed to uncanny judgement on Level 3's part as any other explanation. /John
