Google by building a farm in tornado central and hiring engineers their is showing either ignorance of modern cable super head ends to take content feeds from the content providers.
Google does not need to build this next to the data center for distribution of live stream content. It can be rented in very fast order from L3 with multiple farms or be put on multiple network carriers with what is now a low end DIA at 100mbit/sec.
Super head ends are all satellite Feed de-encryption and IPv4 multicast converters and are not very sexy places these days...2-6 NEXUS 7K/6513Es and a whole bunch of Scitific Alantic (now Cisco) gear. The largest linups are less than 20-30gig/sec in total. (15mbit/sec is high even for combined HD/SD streams at highest rates for all but major network sports). They would be really smart to put all the commercial insets, EBS, VOD ingest in the cloud infrastructure in existing DCs if they want to recast how to distribute live streams to TVset/settops
It is also possible this is entirely for only VOD injest to their content servers as this is the industry standard way to multicast a stream to clients media servers by the providers and networks. It has been a very cheap way to get 500Gig of VOD files to 40-2000 clients without paying for wireline bandwidth. Send everything you got broadcast...think multicast... off a bird and just send out the keys to lic the content on the VOD servers.
VZ, L3, AT&T, Comcast, and any number of smaller players like Frontier Communications could all provide these services tomorrow for a fee off dishes that they already pay for. And proably would be good choices as backup sites to kanas as you need at least 2 farm locations separated by geographic bands caused by solar and weather interference issues. The more forward thinking content networks could also provide a circuit or MPLS based feed direct to a couple of Googles DCs and bypass all needs for the Satellite sharks involvement in the path for streams of network content.

No way china would start anything with Taiwan at this point.
US and other nations are itching for any excuse not to repay debt china has bought with slave labor and a manuplated currency.
Simple solution for carriers. Do the right thing and provide PICOcell (to Broadband) or Repeaters at zero cost and control the equipment.
Instead of litigation, spend some time to develeop a single chassie, E911 (dGPS), software radio, 30 day UPSed, solution and send a text invite to everyone who has a single bar at the same address they get their bill sent to. Now if they were real smart they could add WiMax and WiFi and make every one of these points where customers could opt in for additional services.
Here is the deal and where the Palin choice is the best choice for McCain.
In an expeiance level lets say Barry Obama and Sara Palin have about the same level of experiance for the call nobody wants to get.
Obama has been running for president for the past 3 years and has done jack in the senate except being late to committe meetings and a no vote on restart of Iraq war for non complaince with the cease fire.
Biden and McCain have equal levels of expiance out side a stay at the Hilton in Hanoi.
So the Algerba of experiance asks
Do you want Biden or Palin takining the call that Iran is massing troops at the Iraq boarder and the CIA just confirmed North Korea has a container on a ship nuke in LA harbor.
So as far as expeiance factor in McCains thining went with Palin is a wash but brings a republican woman with a developing voice to the forefront of the post buckly POST BOOMER REPLUBLICAN PARTY (aka YOUTHs to Repulicans) to kick the shit out out Ms. Clinton for the next 4,8 or 12 years....and makes it ok for the ten percent of really pissed of hardline Hillary voters to vote against the dems.
The republicans have bet that the 30 or younger crowd wont vote in any numbers, by race voters cancel each other out across the electorial map, suburban men vote 60%R, suburban women vote 60%D. So we are down to who can win the Suburburbs of Cleavland, Middle of PA, Old folks in Florida and outside of DC in VA. Palin has been sucessfull in those areas where Biden may give away a few votes.
the secondary stories are interesting to.... history came at the late 60s in firehose manner..... instead of the slow trickle of ratings base news of today.

The $84.00 mohair suit still isnt worth 84 bucks in 2008 but is quite retro.
Guess this GE owned bussiness is getting lax about securing laptops compaired to the other GEs my associates have contracted at.
GE Corp and several GE divisions no longer issue unencrypted and force install a product called SAFEBOOT that does 256 bit encryption to almost all of the volume. This reqires a passord at startup to load the OS. Unfortunatly if they have stolen a unlocked active laptop with safeboot its a 99% likelyhood that the startup password matches one of the other passwords in the PHB cache.
GE aquires bussinesses every day of the week and it is quite a process to intergrate bussinesses into the fold but there is no excuese for any laptop to walk out of the build room that is not at least volume encrypted.
Any company licened or built program requiring a local database need be rebuilt in a seriose way. GE has literly 10k plus Citrix/Remote Desktop servers just to support their moblie workforce and has deployed and had a 1/1 ratio of VPN users and RSA hardtokens to laptop users.... at least i AM TOLD.
Shame on the program manganger, the IT manager that let unencrypted data be stored localy, shame on the CIO and shame on the CEO for not taking the last 6 years of articles in the WSJ seriously.
Dark matter is the matter we cant see, or more accuratly account for at this point. The question of how much matter in the universe is relivant is to how old the universe is and if it will one day colapese under its own weight. If I were to bet the universe will colaspe and be reborn but I dont plan on being around that day.
If you belief that 'global warming' has effect on hurricanes hitting the US in the last 20 years please review the chart at U.S. Hurricane Strikes by Decade -- http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml
I see a random distribution on this chart... now show me a global table with hundreds of intense storms with landfall counts conclusion can start being statically significant. Category 3,4,5 don't happen that often and its even more rare they make landfall.
