"technically feasible" and "business case reasonable" are two
different things.
Under what conditions does this sort of cooperation with a
competitor make sense?
As a customer, I would prefer to multi-home between ISPs who rarely
talk to each other rather than those who are in collusion. From a
technical perspective I want the operator-induced failures in each
ISP to be as independent as possible; from the business perspective I
want them both to fight for my money.
