Ok, lets start from the simple questions and move up if we are trying to figure this out.

1) What could cause A (singular) hub to go down? Electrical loss is an obvious one, but could a virus or active DDOS do the trick?

2) What is the carrying load for each (If we lose X is it a 10% loss in internet capability or similar measure)?

3) Is there any documentation as to the location of all of the internet hubs, on or offline? Preferably a map or GIS shapefile, but anything is helpful. If there is a random spread then it opens new questions. If they are focused in an area we know to ask different ones (or blame Sandy).

4) Is each hub owned and operated by individual company or are they collectively managed by someone? Either way is there a press release or rep we could contact to see what is going on?

Just trying to get some focus. We need to find out if there is an issue, or if we are just wasting tp panicking and soiling perfectly good pants for no reason.
