Joergen, yes that are connectivity resilience issues with a strong relation to 
the ISP. You probably do not need PI for that. What I'm talking about is 2 or 
3 providers that provide worldwide service between a large number of 
locations. Contracts are rebid with regular intervals (is required). 
Individual circuits are can be provided by local providers or national 
networks and NATO owned circuits. In other words, a true multi provider 
environment. We are not speaking about internet service but transmission 
services for enterprice VPNs.
