Date: 2005-01-17 05:01 am (UTC)ATLANTA - January 5, 2005 - Internap Network Services Corporation (AMEX: IIP), the leading provider of performance-based routing services over the Internet, announced today that President George W. Bush has appointed Internap President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory A. Peters, to serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC).
The President established the NIAC in order to support a coordinated effort by both government and private sector entities to advise him on security of information systems supporting the nation's critical infrastructure. As a NIAC member, Peters will join a select group of leaders appointed to provide the President advice on these issues from a variety of sectors of the economy, including banking and finance, transportation, energy, manufacturing, and emergency government services.
"Mr. Peters represents the next generation of network service leaders," said U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). "He is a hands-on executive with a broad base of knowledge and telecommunications experience, which I believe will prove valuable to the work of this important committee as they seek to provide President Bush with advice and ideas to protect our nation's infrastructure."
"It is a privilege to have been selected to serve on the President's National Infrastructure Advisory Council," said Peters, in accepting the position. "Advances in information technology have changed the way our economy and government is run and, at the same time, created new security challenges. I look forward to working with corporate and government leaders on these important and timely issues."
Isn't it odd the President of internap now "works" for Dubya?

Date: 2005-01-17 03:00 pm (UTC)No, I say. Trust me on this one - let me put the kabosh to such thinking right here.
There was no time or equipment available to do anything to the LJ service but restore and bring it up. And they were going as fast as they could as it was, even with the extended outage.
Me, I was remembering a night in April last year when I spent the entire night up with techs trying to bring my translator up - over a crashed database. No, no and no - what it does point up rather painfully to me is that Internap is now the point on what should be the most rock-solid, trustworthy organization. And caused a power outage that crashed a whole organization - brought it to a standstill for over 24 hours.
Oh yeah, that's comforting to know. Not.
