[RTC List] AT&T DSL Outage? (Rob Beckerdite)

[Robert Beckerdite]

All,


  Is anyone working on a community wide Continuity Plan for this? It seems
important to address the issue with the technology and options we have today
until a better solution (backup fiber) can be implemented. From the
discussion it looks like we have some options that people are using:

1.  Analog dialup (to a POP outside of the area)
2.  Hughes Net
3. http://101netlink.com/

  I am curious if we have identified any others while people have identified
issues in first response and commerce is anyone in the local Police
Department, Hospital or University had experience with a specific impact
that needs to be addressed? I am not aware of all the systems in place in
Humboldt that require external connectivity on the governement end.  I seem
to remember them using frame relay for many connections that may still
operate over copper.
  Any service or company that has migrated to VOIP or VPN for connection to
resources outside or the area is probably going to be significantly
impacted.

P.S. Who would be the central body coordinating the After Action Review on
this kind of event. It seems there must be a lot of imperical data on the
impact since this has occurred so many times.
