I don't have any idea how much you guys know about the current situation in Europe, but since KPNQwest filed for bankruptcy last week, we've virtually been on the edge ever since. If KPNQwest's network goes down before they can find someone to buy it, it could cause some serious issues for Europeans trying to connect to the Internet and for the rest of the world serious troubles trying to connect sites located in Europe (KPNQwest's clients include Dell and HP).
Anyway, one big part of the network, called EBone, has been running on voluntary basis since last week and now they finally got an additional two weeks' funding to run the operation and pay salaries to the maintenance staff. I just thought you might want to send your hellos to these guys :-) Visit their employee site here.
