[Outages-discussion] POLL: Is power distribution in scope here?

[Frank Bulk]

I agree, let's keep it to significant telecom outages, no matter what the
underlying cause.

I think that would change the list as everyone has come to know it.  I think
power outages should remain a root cause and not an outage in and of itself.
Most come here to discuss network outages and the like.  I think including
power outages would amount to spam for alot of members.  That being said a
separate list for power outages or even one that covers all utilities may be
useful, depending on volume.

I was just poking around Wikipedia, looking at the TAT-14 page from that
nice cable map someone just posted, and I found myself wandering onto pages
about underwater *power* distribution cable runs.

And that leads me, since I myself pay attention to the Grid, to wonder:

Is that, as are so many things, Just Me?  Or should our dashboard cover
power issues as well as the datacom issues we have links for now?

I can't set reply-to, Zimbra's not a "real" Internet mailer, but please
reply to -discussion.

   Start a man a fire, and he'll be warm all night.
    Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
