NTT helps Twitter stay up during Iranian protests
Hats off to the U.S. branch of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. for their cooperation with Twitter in delaying a scheduled downtime so that the service could stay up and continue aiding the efforts of protesters in Iran:
A critical network upgrade must be performed to ensure continued operation of Twitter. In coordination with Twitter, our network host had planned this upgrade for tonight. However, our network partners at NTT America recognize the role Twitter is currently playing as an important communication tool in Iran. Tonight’s planned maintenance has been rescheduled to tomorrow between 2-3p PST (1:30a in Iran).
