Re: People

you can't take that outlook when looking at it from say an enterprise perspective, every second of uptime counts (believe me i know, i work in a datacenter)
in this case it may have been cell service and internet, but let's just say a portion of those folks use VoIP with no copper coming in and they had a emergency, both cell and net were down, how were they to call 911? uptime counts.

They don't.
I just wish us Americans would stop trying to fix things that are not broke. The fact of the matter is SHIT HAPPENS. We as a society try to fix, mend, make it better, ect. When in reality we should stop trying and realize that the system is fine the way it is. Having this attitude of 110% uptime at all costs, and be dammed if it goes down, are not realistic people, you live in a FANTASY world which will never come true.
