Telecommunications - A expression of the degree to which a system, subsystem, or equipment is not operable and not in a committable state at the start of a mission, when the mission is called for at an unknown, i.e., random, time. Note 1: The conditions determining operability and committability must be specified. Note 2: Expressed mathematically, unavailability is 1 minus the availability. Note 3: Unavailability may also be expressed mathematically as the ratio of the total time a functional unit is not capable of being used during a given interval to the length of the interval, e.g., if the unit is not capable of being used for 68 hours a week, the unavailability is 68/168.

Water - Electric service is traditionally provided on a bundled basis, meaning that generation, transmission, and distribution services are provided as a single package. By unbundling, the packaged offering of the various services that make up traditional utility service are separated into discreet, separately-priced components. An example would be selling electric power distribution as a separate service without including costs associated with power generation or transmission services. Unbundling could allow the customer to select a different supplier or source for each of the components required to obtain a product or service.
