By Catalin Cimpanu US internet service provider CenturyLink has suffered a major technical outage on Sunday after a misconfiguration in one of its data centers created havoc all over the internet. Due to the technical nature of the outage -- involving both firewall and BGP routing -- the error spread outward from CenturyLink's network and also impacted other internet service providers, ending up causing connectivity problems for many more other companies. https://www.zdnet.com/article/centurylink-outage-led-to-a-3-5-drop-in-global-web-traffic/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20201025063903.GA17633@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2020 06:39:03 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Sticking to Business in the Boardroom By April Hall While politics are always on the radar, taking sides in an election could present business risks. Jon Hanson says his first board appointment was likely connected to his politics. Not necessarily because he was a Republican or a Democrat, but because of his relationships. Hanson, the founder and chairman of Hampshire Real Estate Companies, was appointed to the New Jersey Bell (now Verizon) board after serving as finance chairman for Tom Kean's successful campaign for governor in the early 1980s. https://www.directorsandboards.com/articles/singlesticking-business-boardroom -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Tue, 27 Oct 2020
