This summary status is a bit different. Instead it is a report about
what we don't know, and estimate how much we don't know based on official
reporting.
The FCC DIRS report is based on outages reported by service providers.
Almost no local providers have been able to file either a positive or
negative report on the DIRS website. So the data is very incomplete.
