Boing Boing has an article on information black holes. According the individuals working on the project:
"There's an assumption that if you have a working Internet connection then you have access to all of the Internet," said Ethan Katz-Bassett, a UW doctoral student in computer science and engineering. "We found that's not the case."
Its an interesting read and the map is facinating. Here is a link to the Boing Boing article: Discovering the Internet's "black holes" and one to the project at UW Hubble: Monitoring Internet Reachability in Real-Time
