IP Convergence: Beyond VoIP, Beyond Cost Savings

Given how users are getting more & more dependent of IP infrastructure for e-mail, phones, etc, it would be nice (ok maybe I'm being naive) if global crossing would take a lead in providing planned & unplanned reporting to outages mailing list. Hopefully other service providers can take GBLX's lead.

The goal of outages mailing list is 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. Hence eliminating the need to open tons of trouble tickets during a major event.

The purpose of outages@isotf.org mailing is to empower users, network operator community (nanog, nsp-sec, isp-routing, sanog, janog, etc) and services providers to post planned and unplanned events so that everyone could benefit from it.

Any help and support will be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to ping me directly for any further questions.
