I was reading about this earlier... and while it's annoying for everybody,
it actually should turn out to be a Good Thing (tm). The article mentions
some of the ops being confused as to why most of the data stream is being
routed through Europe... well, think about it. The Internet is doing
exactly what it's supposed to do! It was *designed* to do this, to reroute
information around a breakage, rather than lose the data stream altogether.
Of course, that doesn't really change what I think about those IDIOTS at
that gas company. :)
