Submarine Cable interruption acceleration MSN Localization

Feng Qiang/Wen

When I got to work early this morning, I found that MSN could not log on. Many of our work contacts are currently carried out through MSN. At this time, I suddenly found that QQ (actually used TM) is still a bit useful. After all, we still have a working group.

At first, I thought it was just a problem with our company's online MSN. As a result, when I asked in the group, the whole country would not be able to get on. At that time, I felt that the Microsoft MSN server was hacked and no response was received from any websites accessing Microsoft. I tried other overseas websites, and most of them were inaccessible. I think it may be because of a problem with the Internet exports in our country.

I tried to use Skype, myself and my family, and I chatted with my foreign siblings. Fortunately, we have not completely become an information isolated island. Until I saw the news on the Internet, it was said that the Tainan earthquake affected the submarine optical cable, so that most foreign websites could not access it. As a result, Skype can be used because of its cooperation with tom.com.

MSN has already launched value-added services such as text messages in China. Is there no server in China? I think, after this disruption, the top executives of Microsoft China have found ample reasons to request resources from their headquarters. It seems impossible to make them bigger and stronger in mainland China, but not to get a few servers. This event has little impact on MSN. After all, many business users should use it. The submarine optical cable event will undoubtedly speed up the localization process of MSN, and server finalization will be the key point.

We are worried that our Internet root server is in USA, and the future war will be information-based. This optical cable incident actually reminds us of it. Internet, 3G, WiMAX, and so on. The more advanced the technology is, the more likely it will be attacked, and the greater the loss. It is very dangerous to be subject to people in information technology. I heard that China is going to get a top-level domain name backup server. I also heard that this is still subject to USA. In any case, the technology is also like this because of sorrow and sorrow.
