To all the service providers out there, do you historically see a
significant uptick in internet traffic on "Black Friday"
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)> (the Friday
after the US Holiday of Thanksgiving, named supposedly due to retail
companies going from in the "red" all year to "black", bottom-line,
"normally" lots of shopping occurs both online and traditional) and
Cyber Monday <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_Monday> ? I am curious
what percentages of change are typically seen? =20
=20
TIA,
