FCC derecho report

[Mike ODELL]

I don't disagree with the "be prepared" but 
if we have a Zombie Apocalypse, it will be because an undead
Theodore Vail leads legions of undead AT&T Plant Engineers
to come wreck vengeance on the pencil-necks who
betrayed and dishonored the standards and practices
that made "five nines" the hallmark of quality long before
the "six sigma" geebas showed up.

just today Verizon ran an ad on the radio bragging about the
reliability of their FIOS voice and Internet service bundle.
and what did the quote as evidence? They proudly proclaimed
THREE nines! 

for years the standing joke is that cellular took quality from
"Five Nines" to "Nine Fives". 

that has stopped being funny.

Tell'em what you really think.  ;-)   Just as with Sandy and previous storms, what this report confirms is that during and following a crisis we always have been and most likely will remain, on our own. We better get used to it and make preparations as best we can for whatever might happen. Our forefathers and the Boy Scouts have always advised preparedness. Fortune seldom favors complacency.
