Again, rather than speculation, it would be helpful to refer to the
actual contracts.  Please post the relevant sections, not your summary
of an index of definitions, Mr Wilcox.

For instance, I rather doubt that the contract language defines a
decision of L(3) to terminate connectivity to a third party as an
"excused outage".  But we won't know without the contract.

Enlighten us.
