<div>It should be but it seems to have descended into website outage, dns blips and localised cable provider reporting lately. </div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps time for a new list with less noise?</div><div><br></div>"<span style="font-family:Times;font-size:medium;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">The primary goal of this mailing list ("outages") is for outages-reporting that would apply to failures of major communications infrastructure components having significant traffic-carrying capacity, similar to what FCC provided prior to 9/11 days but they seem to have pulled back due to terrorism concerns. Some also believe that LEC's and IXC's also like this model as they no longer have to air their dirty laundry. Then again, this mailing list is not about making anyone look bad, its all about information sharing and keeping network operators & end users abreast on the situation as close to real-time information as possible in order to assess and respond to major outage such as routing voice/data via different carriers which may directly or indirectly impact us and our customers. A reliable communications network is essential in times of crisis. "</span><div>
