[edit] Image etc

I removed an image of the company logo which was a duplicate. Logos should only be used to identify a company which had already been done, WP has strict rules on advertising. I know this survived AfD but thats extra reason to be careful. Also, IMO from a style point of view a short history and a long list of niche awards doesnt make a compelling article.

I've added some network and technology information which might help this, I've provided links to the hibernia press-release to cite sources. Dnel 15:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The article would benefit from a link to a feature / article in a major media source which presents the company as significant. I wikified the links section, including removing links to the support site and a blog which do not offer anything encyclopedic. Again, gotta be real careful re: possible advertising.

[edit] GCHQ contractor & NSA affiliate?

"Zen Internet (British GCHQ contractor affiliated with NSA IXP [IP Packet Tracking/Analysis] tracking projects) 217.155.32.0 - 217.155.47.255 Moss Bridge Road Rochdale Lancashire OL16 5EA England

ns1.zen.co.uk [212.23.3.1]
ns0.zen.co.uk [212.23.8.1]" [1]

[edit] NSA contractor?

Just to clarify, ns0 and ns1 have nothing to do with the NSA or GCHQ.... they seem to act as name servers, and are in fact.... name servers.

I work for Zen, and I have never seen any suits (it's a mostly jeans and t-shirt's affair).... but just in case, I do keep a tinfoil hat in my desk draw! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.23.9.72 (talk) 17:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links to feature/ articles etc

As mentioned before:

The article would benefit from a link to a feature / article in a major media source which presents the company as significant. 20:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Would any of these be of use?
