New hot line links CEOs to White House | |

A high-security communications network linking government leaders to some of technology's biggest names in the event of a national disaster will be unveiled early next month, officials say. Inspired by the breakdown in communication on Sept. 11, when frantic calls overwhelmed phone lines, the so-called CEO Link will be used to shuttle high-priority news between government officials and executives. "We would discuss recovery and response efforts first," said Ila Brown, director of Interagency Communications at the Office of Homeland Security. The network, described as mostly phone-based with some Internet capabilities, is being built by AT&T and members of the Business RoundTable, a group of about 150 CEOs of major U.S. companies. The idea for the network arose after a meeting last November between about 40 members of the Business RoundTable and Office of Homeland Security director Tom Ridge. | ||
