  1. The link to the 988 Outage story leads to a serious “rabbit hole” on the state of emergency teleco services. The link to Intrado for information on the recent 988 outage shows that this is managed by the same vendors who are managing 911 –> e911 services. The history of FCC enforcement for 911 outages provides a jarring history on the migration of traditional telco emergency services to IP-based alternatives.

    There are some parallels to challenging conversations I have had with hospital IT groups who can lose sight of the fact that not all Ethernet cables or traffic types in the hospital have equal weight/consequence..
