Eruditorium 138: Data Havens #2 of 44: (jabloe) Fri 16 Jun '00 (12:52 PM)

My take on Sealand/HavenCo itself is that it'll be more a marketing foray for the idea of data havens, than a practical co-lo facility; going by Simson Garfinkel's article in Wired, it'll be frightfully expensive compared to running some bunkered facility in Omaha (what with the elements, transportation headaches, and being hostage to only a few connectivity providers), and many of the technical features (e.g., a machine room they don't let customers bring equipment to, for security reasons) are readily duplicable.

So maybe it's the data haven meme their incubating... (sorry, "they're")
