KPN blew it last night.
As a part of the Royal Wedding Mania, they were brought in to supply all technical details of the Royal Chat Event. There wasn't much more to see than the KPN logo at the beginning of the session before everything came crashing down.
They claim it was a DoS attack, I beg to differ, they should've been prepared for that. We've done 35,000 simultaneous users in a chat with The Edge at u2.com and even though The Edge isn't [yet] a royal, even that was tough so I can only imagine the traffic for the royal couple.
Another strike against the Net, now the BigCos are making us all look stupid by placing egg over their own face.
What KPN should have done was be honest, tell the Queen that a centralized chat is always going to be iffy on the net and set up a killer Wedding Blog for the couple to post their own personal thoughts on.
