One expert drew historical parallels to long-distance communication networks, recalling Sprint’s utilization of SONET ring technology to build fully redundant networks that could seamlessly switch between providers like AT&T and Sprint. They argued that modern infrastructure requires similar multilayered redundancy—using different networks in different jurisdictions—to prevent systemic collapses. The incident exemplifies how a cyberattack or technical failure targeting major providers like AWS could cripple entire sectors, realistically simulating a cyber war scenario.
