Just a quick note of warning here. InternetNews says that retailers, expecting a bad season, will be offering massive discounts on Monday, so ISPs should expect higher than usual traffic -- from business accounts as well as from residential users.

The article notes:

Shop.org found that 84 percent of retailers are planning a special promotion for Cyber Monday, such as free shipping offers, e-mail campaigns and one-day sales. That figure is a high-water mark, up from 72 percent in the trade group's survey last year.

If you've got webhosting accounts, are you helping your retailer customers offer these discounts? You should.

And if you're shopping from home, take advantage of Cyber Monday! (Or should you wait for better discounts in January? Decisions, decisions.)

There are opportunities in every economy, good and bad.
