If one observes enough google outages, one would conclude that they then 
to be localized, and transient. One might conclude further from that 
observation, that as an ASP they don't have all their eggs in the same 
basket. The upshot though is that observers with different vantage points 
are observing different pieces of infrastructure.

I personally would question the utility of reporting on a failure of a 
service without being able to point at least in direction of the piece 
that failed.
