Redundancy - Just a couple comments on the messagemedia.io domain. 1) Redundancy - From the number (5) of secondary servers on the messagemedia.io domain this site has a lot of redundancy built into it. This doesn't mean much less the primary server goes down but it keeps Messagemedia online. I'm sure most people have experience being off-line when their ISP crashes. Well, this helps eliminates that problem. Smart Strategy! 2) Alias - At present, messagemedia.io is set up as an alias on the Cable & Wireless server in Diego Garcia. According to IO (Internet One), Messagemedia will have to locate a server in Diego Garcia. I do not know how Messagemedia will to use this domain, but IMHO it is key for their global build-out.

Recall EU.NET, one of the messagemedia.io secondary name servers that is in the Netherlands. It appears EUnet is either owned by Qwest or is a partner. Here's their global network... eu.net The section "Maintaining the Flow" is interesting. Notice, they are talking streaming media -- which reminds me of VStream. Anyway, EUnet builds a case for different servers in different countries. eu.net I'm bringing all this good information so you can see how people in telecommunications think. I believe we all know how Yahoo!s think. Speaking of Yahoo!s, the time to buy MESG is when they are in pain, being forced out because of their margin call, that sort of thing. If I were a serious investor, I'd be afraid to touch MESG with all those Yahoo!s over there, yuking it up, fainting on every uptick. If only they knew of their disservice.
