While there are a number of reporters on this list, they seem to rarely take quotes from this list. I can think of only one publication which has. Most of the information in the BBC story was available from tradtional reporting sources such as press releases, press conferences and individual interviews. At most a few news stories indicated ISPs had some prior notice, but didn't indicate how they received that notice. Even though Paul gave us a heads up on Friday night, no traditional news source had any coverage of the issue until after the press release hit the wires on Monday.
