I expect all LEC, CLECs, wireline, wireless, carrier, non-carrier,
traditional, next-generation, tier 1, tier 2, etc are willing and
working to relocate and re-route anyone with service, systems, etc
disrupted or destroyed by Tuesday's attacks.
The FCC has told carriers "Do anything you can do to help." I would
apply the same statement to non-regulated ISPs and alternative communication
providers. If you need special assistance in getting circuits re-routed,
or installed in a new location, talk to your provider. Consider many
of the alternative providers, which had a lot of excess capacity before
Tuesday's attack.
For example, there are reports of several former dot-COM property management
companies offering space in buildings previously occupied by dot-COM companies
which went out of business earlier this summer.
