Broken Cables
Seems like it is still the hot topic after a few weeks. Not a day goes by without some news or some mailing list discussion about the broken cables. The most amusing is probably those blatant sales pitch from one of the very outspoken ISPs in HK :-D
My views are some what included in an interview from USAToday: http://www.usatoday.com/news/
world/2007-01-01-asia-internet_x.htm
The key thing is: "The real test is not the immediate response," said Chung of the Internet Society. "The real test is: What are we going to do next?"
And I think the direction described in the press conference today seems to be pointing towards the right direction:
香港互聯網協會主席,身兼香港資訊科技商會當然委員的莫乃光指出,汲取今次事故的經驗,業界、規管機構和政府必須加強合作,增加對中小型企業在危機處理的支援,尤其對網絡運作方面的知識。
「從今次事故所見,由於大型企業如銀行、金融機構等的應變能力較高,例如及時更改其網絡服務的設定及網絡路徑,它們所受的影響遠較中小型企業所受的為低。中小型企業作為本地經濟活動的重要支柱,我們將會向政府相關的委員會建議,撥出資源提升中小企危機應變和處理能力,例如出版小冊子、講座和加強公眾宣傳等。」莫乃光說。
