For years I've been telling people that while there was some risk that traffic on the Internet could be intercepted, that the risk was greatest at the ends of a connection and that as long as they were working with a reputable ISP that there was almost no risk that anyone was eavesdropping on the traffic from the more central networks. I've also been telling people that data "at rest" on disks or stored in servers is much more at risk than data "in motion" as it moves across the Internet. Have I been misleading people?
What does everyine think those silly lead times for local tails (especially in Europe) are for ? Menwith Hill (sp?) et al. needs a nice schedule of new capacity so that it can be planned in. Even Telefonica cannot actually take 3 months to really provision a tail circuit. Peter
