While looking for more information about the power failure at the Reagan National Airport air traffic control tower, I read about the preparations for the IMF meeting in Washington this weekend. As you may remember, last fall in Seattle several ISP NOC folks experienced the pain and agony of tear gas up close while trying to go to and from work. http://washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/daily/april00/bankmap.htm Looking at the map, I don't recall any ISPs with offices within the affected area. Some CLECs have offices following fiber along the metro line and L street. But nothing super-critical for the Internet.
