Hello,

We've received some information from our network provider which suggests 
that there will be some disruptions to The Global Voice' Internet service 
in the next few days.

As we understand it, these disruptions are set to occur between midnight 
and 6 hours Universal Time on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which 
translates to between 8pm and 2am US Eastern, 5pm and 11pm US Pacific, on 
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.

During these disruptions, all services from our server will be 
unavailable.   This includes our audio streams, our web and FTP sites, our 
Email services, mailing lists, and automated Twitter service.  It may be 
possible for us to provide you with updates during any extended outage via 
Twitter, so you may want to follow us if you haven't already 
(TheGlobalVoice).

We are told that these disruptions shouldn't total more than 90 minutes 
across the 3 nights, so hopefully the actual disruptions will be fairly 
short.

Due to our understanding of the nature of the work that is to be 
undertaken, we expect that all our services will remain running during 
this time, and that as soon as connectivity is restored, our services 
should be immediately available once more.  Of course, there may be 
exceptions to this, and we apologise if this maintenance work results in 
any of our services being offline for any length of time.

We apologise for the inconvenience this wil cause, but we are not in a 
position to influence this maintenance work in any way.  Any programs that 
are interrupted due to this work will be available as repeats and On 
Demand in our Program Gallery.

If you have any questions about this disruption, feel free to write to me 
at Geoff at TheGlobalVoice.info.

Thanks,
Geoff Shang
Technical Manager
The Global Voice
