You had me up until that line. That should be expanded a little ... First, I'd say, yes - many businesses would be severely impacted and may even have consequential issues if they had to sustain a 30 minute outage. Suppose for a moment they couldn't process money machines transactions for 30 minutes; or Netflix couldn't serve content for 30 minutes; or youporn was offline for 30 minutes. The question should be more along the lines of, "why aren't you multihomed in a way that would make a 30 minute outage (which is inevitable) irrelevant to you?
