Trouble-to-Resolve
Carry a fault in the live network or a subscriber's service from the first alarm or complaint to restored service, told to the people affected and, when an outage meets a threshold, reported to regulators on time. Where Incident-to-Resolution (VS-10) restores internal IT services for employees, this stream restores service to subscribers.
