Now you are projecting that every major backbone provider will have saturated bandwidth at the same time and that will prevent regular traffic from getting through. I still contend that someone will come along to fill the gap, because it represents an opportunity to make money by providing a service others are not providing.
Ten years ago, we always had problems with MAE-East, the huge backbone exhange point near Washington, DC. It was up, it was down, it was dropping packets because of traffic overloads, it was dropping packets because of buggy software- it was a nightmare. What happened? Companies filled the gap. They increased bandwidth, improved core routers, made more exchange points.
