Of course this could just be a coincidence, and of course I'm not making any assumptions, but ..

It might interest some people to know that BT's flagship datacenter in Cardiff [home to 21CN] suffered two unpublicised (to my knowledge) major power outages when power failed and the generators failed to kick in. (and I mean
major outage).
Working in my field you get to hear about the odd DataCenter failure, but they are really as rare as hen's teeth. Level3 took a battering in London, one from a flood and one from a break-in iirc. But I hardly ever hear about them being due to faulty Datacenter hardware that's designed to protect the site from outages.
If BT put these profilers in there and the place goes down, you're looking at a 24-48 hour downtime for the
internetfor those connecting through Cardiff.
This probably only relates to 21CN stuff (i.e. BT spin-off companies and others on 21CN jumping on the bandwagon if it goes ahead).
