UK outsourcing can’t be affected by this …

December 30, 2008

It’s easy to assume that all of our digital communication is transmitted through space, the ether, via mobile telephones, wi-fi, GPS, GPRS.  Eventually, though, it has to come back down to earth and it’s transmitted further via cabling systems to our servers.   

A story in The Times has made me very grateful that our servers and ISP is hosted on-shore.  Who would have thought that half a continent could go offline because of one broken under-sea cable?

How many businesses are are affected because they choose to outsource off-shore?
