Network Recovery and Survivability

I've been requested to fill two or three lecturing sessions in the "MBA Telecommunication" program. The lectures shall cover some or specific issues related to network management. I've been also told that the class audience consists of managers which possess a diverse, mostly non-electrical-engineering background. But they do affiliate with telcos. Now, the question is what topics shall be addressed?

At a glance, I come up with the idea to focus on "Network Recovery & Survivability" (NRS). Why? There are many reasons of course. Nowadays telcos compete each other intensively. In order to survive, they rely heavily on their service offerings. Thus, service reliability becomes a very important aspect in this area of business.

We might still not forget the impact of the Taiwan's earthquake on the telecommunication services in Asia more than one year ago. It is clear that we cannot fight against the nature, we just can try to prevent such natural disasters from happening and to prepare everything necessary if they do happen. As a discipline, NRS gives all considerations to manage and to condition our networking infrastructure in providing high quality telecommunication services.
