New energy conservation regulations mean that daylight savings time will start three weeks earlier in the U.S. this year, posing a "mini-Y2K" problem for multinational corporations in any industry.

Given that Y2K concerns were so overblown, the authors worry that companies may neglect to protect their networks from Daylight Savings Time 2007 issues.
