RANTS: Network Outage in the Bay Area
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/04/09/BAP816VTE6.DTL&tsp=1
I'm uneasy about how easy it is to disrupt so many people with one act of "vandalism." If this infrastructure plays such a centralized role in how so many people and business do their work, shouldn't it be more heavily protected. I have already come across at least one report of the connectivity problem in the Bay Area affecting work down here in San Diego.
Also, could this constitute "terrorism"?
