No, I don't feel the govrenment took over anything. Yesterday my company
gave up trying to conduct any business via the Internet as it became so
congested with people trying to find out what had happened. Requests simply
overloaded the internet in places. Ping times between my offices were
averaging 20-35% longer then normal.
As for telephones, we experienced a lot of busy circuits yesterday.
