Please clarify: Is this narrowly about internet functionality (eg: a BGP catastrophe), or would widespread client-device trouble (eg: the CrowdStrike outage) or infrastructure trouble (EMP or just a really big power outage) that's not specifically about network connectivity also cause this market to resolve YES?
