An observation:  It seems to be that general business practice has not yet
caught up with the Internet world.  Typical big-ticket contracts (e.g. 
construction, large purchases of commodity products) have all kinds of 
clauses regarding deadlines, penalty clauses, performance bonds, and the 
like.  I would expect similar clauses to start showing up in telecom. 
service contracts - particularly as we move into a less regulated 
environment.

Out of curiousity, has anyone out there managed to negotiate such clauses 
into a contract for Internet services?  Has anyone exercised such a 
penalty clause?  Successfully?
