60 Hudson doesn't have a house generator, and has been without utility
power since yesterday.  Some tenants (like Tel-x) have their own
generation capabilities, some (like Keyspan) don't -- prohibiting
factors being some combination of pigheaded laws, lack of space,
economic constraints, and noise-sensitive neighbors and community
groups.  Nobody ever said locating a carrier hotel in TriBeCa was the
smartest idea. [1] ;)

On a related note, 25 Broadway (TELEHOUSE "Broadway Center") has been
on generator power since around 4.15PM EST yesterday, and hasn't
reported any customer-impacting outages.  NYIIX took a slight dive:

...presumably because folk backhaul their traffic (and in some cases,
layer 2!) to outside facilities without power.
