The cost and level of manual effort required demonstrated that an ongoing program for end-to-end multi-carrier circuit diversity assurance cannot currently be widely offered." http://www.atis.org/PRESS/pressreleases2006/031506.htm "The NDAI report confirmed our suspicions that diversity assurance is not for the meek," Malphrus added. "It is expensive and requires commitment by the customer to work closely with carriers in performing due diligence. Until the problem is solved, circuit route diversity should not be promoted as a general customer best practice."
