MJ's death slows the internet to a crawl


Something to think about...how reliable is the net for a source of news? If we should remember one thing about this event is how long it took major news sources to not only update those pages but also how long to GET to those pages to even find this out.

Moreso, this event may start calling into question about the readiness of the net for a world changing event and making sure that everyone is able access it quickly.

If Michael Jackson's death can bring the net to a crawl...what would have to happen to shut it down and what should the wolrd do to beef up equipment to avoid that happening?
