Maybe this breakage will turn out to be the best way for everyone to double their customer base overnight.
I have a probably dumb question. Even if a company were of large enough wallet to have, say, a single redundant connection, how could it evaluate the partition problem in order to choose the "best" connection (where "best" is a function of overall connectivity, say) ? It seems to me that that's a really, really hard problem. And surely isn't a static one-off kind of calculation, right? Mike
