In addition to his duties at CarrierHotels.com Rich has been blogging for Netcraft and covering the SCO v. Everybody_Who_Uses_Linux lawsuits. A hosting-industry insider, Rich tells us why Robert March, the CEO of RackShack/EV1 Servers paid to SCO what SCO claimed was "seven figures." Rich also describes the RackShack customer reactions and their fears of higher prices.
