Another concern is that Y2K will not just cause problems on January 1, 2000, but also on a range of other dates. Global markets are also susceptible to Y2K, and the interconnectedness of military information systems could cause a serious national security threat. The fact that noncompliance in a single country can affect all other nations means that international cooperation is vitally important. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
