310: Hail the Foot

Solar Flares and Fox Network IP Distribution

A report from a data center insider suggests that Fox Networks is moving its US distribution from satellite to IP transit (internet protocols) in anticipation of massive solar flare activity in 2012 and 2013. The company reportedly expects solar storms to be severe enough to make satellite transmissions unviewable. This shift in infrastructure is viewed as a dire warning about the potential for significant communication outages in the near future.
