The routers I'm currently installing for a couple of clients cost $1.1M USD
each. I'm guessing my home contents insurers aren't going to be overly
chuffed when I have to increase my level of cover. And even less to cover
consequential losses due to outages impacted SLAs.

I'll take a stab here ... Doug hasnt really thought this latest idea through
(again).
