Must admit I thought "Nice one - a small victory to chalk up" when I got the email
Then reality hit. I can see the potential Data Centre Operators jockying for position right now. It's a slam dunk, as they say, that the winners will be those already cozied up to the NSA and their US military Cyberwarfare operation (covertly of course but can't afford to fall out with them now can we?). Great for the spooks; all the people they need to keep an eye on in one place. Every bit of cryptographic - and related traffic analysis technology focussed on that isolated volcanic island in the North Atlantic (or is it Arctic?).
Hmmm.
Think I'll wait 'til it all shakes down a bit before moving WikiSpooks away from Ireland.
