> 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.

Like I said, they will have to make one under government pressure, but I bet you they won't publicly release it.

Does the Netherlands have something like Congressional hearings? Could come out at something like that.

Yes, it’s called a “parlementaire enquête” but it’s a fairly heavy handed tool to wield so it’s not done very often

This is what happened last time:

In 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.

Neither do any of the other Scotsmen I know.

if it's released to government it's in the public domain as the government serves the public... oh wait :D ... democracy never happend :D i remember now
