Any North American Network Operator (NANO_) that entrusts control of
their networks' communications to a foreign third party is a fool.
ORBS is run by one Alan Brown based in New Zealand. IMHO, he's a
cyberterrorist.
Being blackholed by New Zealanders should be an insignificant threat
to US-based networks. If it starts being a noticeable problem, you
have a serious national security breach.
