[Outages] [Fwd: Verizon PSTN issues?]

[Wallace Keith]

 I actually have obtained outage reports under the act, but you have to
be specific about the carrier, date and time in your request and it
takes a while to get a response. It's somewhat helpful to try to prevent
future events, but useless when trying to figure out what's going on in
real time.
Also, way back, even when they were available, a lot of SS7 outage
reports were never filed for a number of reasons, such as determining
who's at fault during a cascading event. In my view, a blocked call is a
blocked call, regardless of who the upstream provider of SS7 is.

Keith,

- ----------------------------
Kinda reminds me of verizon socal issue which took place around OCT,
2005 time frame.

I thought one could request reports in writing under the Freedom of
Information Act? BTW, we also have couple special agents on list who
could possibly shed some light.

Sorry, I wish I could provide more information on the situation. I'm
still trying to establish contact w/ FCC, TEMA and others for their
co-operation.
