RE: So... my colo was just bought.

["Holmes,David A" <dholmes () mwdh2o com>]

In the 2002-2003 time frame I worked for a company that colo'd strategic business servers in various telco facilities 
(big names, some that are still in business today), but these telco's had no problem with closing down the colo and 
giving 6 months notice to all tenants, with very little advanced notice. So this created a situation where a 
replacement site had to be found, space leased, equipment purchased, network bandwidth negotiated and purchased, etc. 
within that 6 month timeframe, or face the consequences of being essentially out of business. I can't speak for the 
company that is the subject of the email though, only of what has happened to me in the past.

By Knology.

Should I be scared?

My experiences with Knology have been fairly thin, but uniformly negative,
for at least the last 5 years.  But I know that the plural of 'anecdote' is
not 'data'.  That said, I'm accepting all anecdotes.  :-)
