USG has assets inside a number of co-lo providers. One of the companies I work with happens to provide some under sub-contract to DOE. No details available as to where it is however. :-}
Various departments and agencies of the US, state and local government have assets in lots and lots of co-lo providers. I had several circuits designated for "continuity of government." However, no other provider has been designated by the White House as a "National Infrastructure Asset." Sprint and Worldcom provide FTS2001, but they haven't been designated "national infrastructure asset" by the White House. Other than an Exodus press release, I can't find any record of the phrase in the Code of Federal Regulations, the Federal Register, or any official White House public record in the govdocs database. I don't know if being designated a "national infrastructure asset" is the same as the 50th wedding anniversary greeting the White House sent my grandparents (which looks very impressive framed on the mantel), or if it actually has some practical effect. But my question wasn't really a debate over the phrase "national infrastructure asset," but whether there are any other assets the Internet community believes should be included in pre-planned responses.
