Internet Y2K Conference Call
by Alan Hannan 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

Global Crossing is sponsoring a year-end Y2K Voice Conference Call for ISPs and NSPs. This starts approximately 6pm 12/31/99 EST, and goes through 1/3/2000. This call is intended to serve as a forum for ISPs to convene if certain actions need to be coordinated. We believe that our conferencing system, configured for 100 lines, will not have any issues related to Y2K. We are not totally reliant on the PSTN, however, with some VOIP nodes active, dependant upon the IP network. If you wish to participate, please email me personally, and Cc: Pankaj Chawla [pchawla(a)globalcenter.net] Thanks. -alan

by Jesper Skriver 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

Hi, Sorry for being totally off topic. Does anybody know online maps like http://mapweb.parc.xerox.com/, that supports markers, Xerox's has one problem, it accepts a maximum of 100 markers, which is not enough to my purpose (a map with a marker for each of our POPs) ... Happy new year Jesper -- Jesper Skriver, jesper(at)skriver(dot)dk Work: Network manager @ AS3292 (Tele Danmark DataNetworks) Private: Geek @ AS2109 (A much smaller network ;-) One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.

Nigerian state-run telephone company cuts lines because of Y2K fear
by Sean Donelan 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

The Nigerian state-run telephone company NITEL cut service to 20,000 lines serving private competitive telephone companies in the country due to Y2K fears. The private companies say they are Y2K ready, and NITEL was just trying to disrupt the competition. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19991230/tc/yk_nigeria_1.html Although many US networks plan to disconnect their own networks over New Year's, as far as I know, no US incumbant telephone company has plans to cut service to ISPs, CLECs or competitors due to Y2K fears.

Re: y2k call / infoline for the first timezones to switch over
by Robert Cannon 30 Dec '99

Sorry if this is a repost - it did not seem to go thru. -B Agreeing with Bill, you should also contact Izumi Aizu who is heading up an International Coordination Effort out of the Internet Association of Japan and the Asia and Pacific Internet Association. izumi(a)anr.org I would say his effort is very complimentary to Sean's, with a more Asian International focus. Izumi's invitation to participate in the International Center can be found on http://www.iaj.or.jp/y2kcc/invitation-e.html I guess he is calling it the Y2KCC/JP. The announcement says "To participate, please send e-mail to: y2kcc-intl(a)iaj.or.jp as soon as possible." -Robert Cannon Speaking Almost Entirely For Myself ------Original Message------ From: bmanning(a)vacation.karoshi.com To: Jan Ahrent Czmok <czmok(a)darwin.gigabell.net> Sent: December 29, 1999 3:29:00 PM GMT Subject: Re: y2k call / infoline for the first timezones to switch over > > > Dear Collegues, > > did any conference exist for the first isps in the timezones who are > switching over ? > > If yes, what are the appropiate websites / phone numbers ? > > Jan > Yes, there will be a conference call / coordination center for ISPs in the AP region.

I like the part how the Racal spokesperson says its not a millennium issue, but a century issue, therefore not a Y2K problem. I must admit, Boxing Day was not on any Y2K list of problem dates I saw.

Wired has changed the headline on the front page to read "Trying to Avoid the Glitches" although the headline on the article page is unchanged.
