Who's Who at C&W. Here's the skinny: "As of April 1, 2002, all hosting and content delivery services historically offered by Cable & Wireless, Digital Island and Exodus will be managed by one business division and marketed in the United States as Exodus, a Cable & Wireless Service, and in the rest of the world as Cable & Wireless." The sales force has been integrated. Try calling either a Digital Island or Exodus office. They'll answer the phone, "Exodus, a Cable and Wireless Service." [Thanks: Rolyn Acosta, Exodus]

I'm still trying to figure out how C&W is going to maintain the differentiation of the Exodus brand from those of C&W and Digital Island. What phone numbers to I call for what services?

Hosting Services as Consultants. Rawlson King over at The WHIR thinks web-hosting services need to increase their consulting and other non-commodity offerings in order to compete and survive. If you're a customer, Rawlson's article may give you new insight as to what to look for.
"According to Gartner research, while the grand majority of leading enterprises will continue to outsource their technical infrastructure, many will opt not to select their current external service provider for the job...Outsourced Web hosting will need to become more customized to the requirements of their recipients."
