Does anyone know what the status of 60 Hudson in NYC is? We're waiting for Yipes to come back online and info has been hard to come by..
60 Hudson doesn't have a house generator, and has been without utility power since yesterday. Some tenants (like Tel-x) have their own generation capabilities, some (like Keyspan) don't -- prohibiting factors being some combination of pigheaded laws, lack of space, economic constraints, and noise-sensitive neighbors and community groups. Nobody ever said locating a carrier hotel in TriBeCa was the smartest idea.

NYIIX took a slight dive: http://www.nyiix.net/mrtg/sum/sum.html ...presumably because folk backhaul their traffic (and in some cases, layer 2!) to outside facilities without power. -a [1] <http://www.downtownexpress.com/DE_11/tribecadieseldispute.html>, <http://www.tribecatrib.com/newsjuly03/fuel_storage.htm>
