[At this weeks NANOG there was an excellent presentation on the challenges
of the electrical power consumption and cooling for modern data centers.
Some very scary data and you can see why the ICT industry carbon footprint
will easily exceed that of aviation industry -- BSA]

By 2008, 50% of today's Data Centers will have insufficient power and
cooling;

By 2010, half of all (Enterprise) Data Centers will have to relocate or
outsource applications to another facility.

Some organizations are in the unenviable position of paying more to power
and cool a rack a servers than they paid for the rack and the servers
themselves. 

The Bottleneck of the Internet is the Colo!
