Hi @Brian, imo, "force majeure" would put the current situation in the same class as that of an earthquake or civil/political unrest which I believe it is not. The damage to a cable in a busy shipping lane carries its risk, and based on this assumption there would be a need for redundancies. Unfortunately it is the ISP/Telco/Gateway operators responsibility to assure its able to deliver on services. This is where we are told it's a business decision and not a requirement. And that is why am saying CCK, if the clauses do not exist, needs to make it a requirement not a business decision because of the nature of the Telecommunications sector. The impact of the current outage is significant enough to warrant some changes. :-)
