The UK is receiving some odd 'censored' stuff. My friend, from Israel, read on a Israeli news web site about the third building collapse (building 7 / Salomons ?) about 4 hours before they mentioned it here in the UK. Maybe that was a wrong and/or coincidental report earlier, but it makes me wonder, and make me thankful for the Internet in a way. For those of us over the pond, sympathies for all those involved, and thanks to folks on NANOG for keeping the operational information flowing. I expect that we will hear about diesel failures here just before half of the European connectivity fails from lower Manhattan... rgds, -- Peter Galbavy Knowtion Ltd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Youse, Chuck" <[email protected]> To: "'David Howe'" <[email protected]>; "Email List: nanog" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 12:37 PM Subject: RE: Analysis from a JHU CS Prof > > ITV is showing some pretty good coverage in the UK.
