Internet-based services are dependent on the development and
maintenance of the Internet infrastructure
Our ability to deliver our Internet-based services is dependent
on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the
Internet by third parties. This includes maintenance of a
reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data
capacity and security, as well as timely development of
complementary products such as high-speed modems, for providing
reliable Internet access and services. The Internet has
experienced, and is likely to continue to experience,
significant growth in the number of users and the amount of
traffic. If the Internet continues to experience increased
usage, the Internet infrastructure may be unable to support the
demands placed on it. In addition, the reliability and
performance of the Internet may be harmed by increased usage or
by
denial-of-service
attacks.
The Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other
delays as a result of damages to portions of its infrastructure,
and it could face outages and delays in the future. These
outages and delays could reduce the level of Internet usage as
well as the availability of the Internet to us for delivery of
our Internet-based services. In addition, our customers who
utilize our Web-based services depend on Internet service
providers, online service providers and other Web site operators
for access to our Web sites. All of these providers have
experienced significant outages in the past and could experience
outages, delays and other difficulties in the future due to
system failures unrelated to our systems. Any significant
interruptions in our services or increases in response time
could result in a loss of potential or existing users of and
advertisers and sponsors on our Web sites and, if sustained or
repeated, could reduce the attractiveness of our services.
