Silent Circle is still in business (AFAIK) - but they don't make
phones anymore, a software-only company now.

And keyserver.pgp.com is definately still around (the much-maligned
Global Directory) - which interestingly enough does a number of things
the new key server does, like email verification, enforcing one email
one key, stripping off signatures, one can remove keys, and zero
federation with other key servers.
