Last week ACOR delivered 1,897,386 individual emails across the globe. However, ACOR experienced service outages after September 11th as the network in the New York City area was stressed. NBC interviewed Gilles Frydman, the founder and funder of ACOR because Gilles and his family live just a few blocks south of the World Trade Center and were unable to visit their home for days. Gilles, who is the husband of a breast cancer survivor, runs ACOR single-handedly without pay. To Gilles and the many other volunteers operating ACOR, we wish you the best.
