The Emergency Internet Bunkers

Barence writes "Should the Doomsday Clock ever strike midnight, we may well discover, finally, whether or not the internet really could survive a nuclear conflict. If it could, then a handful of datacenters dotted around the world would likely be all that remains of the multi-billion-dollar hosting industry. These secretive, high-security sites, tunneled out of mountains or housed behind the blast-proof doors of one-time NATO bunkers, are home to the planet's most secure hosting providers. This article profiles the emergency internet bunkers."

if the data centers are in secured bunkers, then skynet will have safe havens to hide in when it launches the judgement day.

We should post the locations of these bunkers so we can make sure they are sabotaged so Skynet won't have any place to hide.

The internet already *is* breaking
