As the society becomes more and more dependent on the infrastructure for electronic communication, my suggestion to policy makers has been that it should be easier to imprison all the government officials of a contry than knocking out it's infrastrcture.-PYo, Peter. You speak of "infrastructure" as if it was a monolithic thing. Why would you think that some localized NoCal fiber cuts would be taking out the whole countrys infrastructure? --bill
If you are talking residential access, in the future when people work from home, the study we did in 2000 came down to that you can only loose 30 subs on a single-point-of failure tehing, and the recomendation was to interlave them, so your neighbour would have connectivity. While on this, we have an even bigger problem, the impact of loosing power is bigger, but their system has not gained the same amount of complexity as ours in the last 100 years.. (the book from 1907 on power-lines is still applicable.) -P
