Abstract
The emerging customer-oriented definition of switched service availability, including how this definition is useful for a customer comparing a switched service with a dedicated service, is discussed. The ways in which a user of a switched service can evaluate the service´s availability without having access to network internal information are described. They ways in which network providers can manage their switched service availability are also described.<>
