What makes you think a telco will ever do a publicly accessible post-mortem after an outage?
They will probably have to do one under government pressure, but it'll be so heavily NDA'd that no one will ever read it.
- jacquesm 7y ago> What makes you think a telco will ever do a publicly accessible post-mortem after an outage? The fact that they have a lot of egg on their face after a similar outage in 2012. Heads will roll over this one and politicians will certainly want answers.
- LeonM 7y agoLike I said, they will have to make one under government pressure, but I bet you they won't publicly release it.
- foota 7y agoDoes the Netherlands have something like Congressional hearings? Could come out at something like that.
- sandermvanvliet 7y agoYes, it’s called a “parlementaire enquête” but it’s a fairly heavy handed tool to wield so it’s not done very often

- yellowapple 7y agoIn an actual democracy, they would be required to release it to the public, since they work for the public (and provide public services/infrastructure) and thus are accountable to the public. Unfortunately, I don't know of any such actual democracy.
- anigbrowl 7y agoIs this based on history or just an attitudinal expression? If the latter, it's not helpful to discourage people when they are in the midst of dealing with a problem.
- Zenst 7y agoFor many business customers they will be contractually obliged to provide a root cause analysis (pretty standard for telcos). So if they don't publicly out the report, then the odd's of it staying contained out of public eye are pretty darn high. The only area in which they could curtail it's release would be if some terrorist type factor or related activity that they could class in that catch-all definition. But even then, details will emerge and it would only delay its publication to fulfill their contractual obligations (think mobile telcos and large business that contract network capacity and links from them with lovely contract SLA's).

- Zenst 7y agoAh yes, my bad - meant that it would be highly unlikely to stay out of public circulation.
- rags2riches 7y agoHigh odds are for unlikely events. Low odds means something will probably happen. People often use the expression the other way around.
