If You Can Read This, The Inauguration is Over (or Hasn’t Begun)

In my industry, bandwidth is everything. So what happens when a president elect as anticipated as Barack Obama takes the stage to accept his office in front of the most wired and ‘net-connected audience of all time in the middle of a work day?

IT specialists are scrambling to keep businesses running and servers up as they are begging their workers: “DO NOT stream the inauguration!!!” As the 13th best-wired country (according to Wired magazine), you’d think we have the infrastructure to support something like this, but we don’t.

See you at the aftermath!
