Who hosts your financial institution?
I always find it interesting to see where certain industries host at or buy their transit from so I thought it would be interesting to look at the financial sector. Please note that this is just who is hosting each institution’s website and doesn’t include who they may be buying other services from.

You’ll notice that two names really dominate this list Verizon and ATT. It will be interesting to see if the downturn in the financial markets will affect these institutions spending and trickle down to their providers.
This also brings up the question of how much these financial institutions are outsourcing and how well companies like SAVVIS / ATT / Internap are doing when trying to sell them services.
