I've been effected - although we have geographical failover. Others?

" AWS's massive computing footprint has been estimated to generate 1% of all Internet traffic, withnearly one-third of Internet users http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9226349/Amazon_cloud_accessed_daily_by_a_third_of_all_Net_usersaccessing sites that use AWS daily, according to a report from DeepField Networks, which provides cloud mapping capabilities."
