If you say so...

2020-12-28 03:55:05 UTC  

Clearly they would not be okay with signing something saying that they're liable if they have their offices explode.

2020-12-28 03:55:21 UTC  

Hence, you know, having a legal team to create a contract to protect their asses.

2020-12-28 03:55:28 UTC  

Civil disturbances, terror...

2020-12-28 03:55:31 UTC  

That's why they've already donated a hundred grand to the 911 system of Nashville in hopes they don't get their sued off.

2020-12-28 03:55:46 UTC  

Or it could be a PR move?

2020-12-28 03:56:01 UTC  

It sure that's tier 1 PR.

2020-12-28 03:56:02 UTC  

Not their fault.

2020-12-28 03:56:25 UTC  

Nope, but it's good PR.

2020-12-28 03:56:46 UTC  

Also $100k is literally nothing to a company that size.

2020-12-28 03:56:50 UTC  

Can't hurt. They have deep pockets anyway.

2020-12-28 03:56:56 UTC  

Yep. Exactly.

2020-12-28 03:57:12 UTC  

It's like I took out all my pocket change and gave it to you.

2020-12-28 03:57:32 UTC  

More like some of your pocket change.

2020-12-28 03:57:36 UTC  

Let me ask you this do you think the people that have service from AT&t are going to pay the bill while there is no service?

2020-12-28 03:57:48 UTC  

They get partially refunded anyway.

2020-12-28 03:58:06 UTC  

They'll get total refunds if it's down beyond the terms of the agreement.

2020-12-28 03:58:07 UTC  

Yup. Happened to me a few times. They were like OK.

2020-12-28 03:58:13 UTC  

Or credits for service back.

2020-12-28 03:58:33 UTC  

And AT&T doesn't even have to issue refunds if it doesn't want to at the moment.

2020-12-28 03:58:46 UTC  

But I can pretty much guess it will, because that'd look bad on them.

2020-12-28 03:59:00 UTC  

But you gotsta ask them. They don't do it proactively, in my experience.

2020-12-28 03:59:15 UTC  

They'll likely be refunded as much as the days between 99% service and 99% service again.

2020-12-28 03:59:31 UTC  

99.9999 is 6 minutes a month

2020-12-28 03:59:45 UTC  

ok

2020-12-28 04:00:10 UTC  

`Any calculation of Network Availability shall not include any unavailability resulting from: (a) scheduled Network maintenance, (b) the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, (c) unavailability of an AT&T Virtual POP or (d) the failure of non-service impacting equipment or systems responsible for network measurements.`

2020-12-28 04:00:11 UTC  

enjoy

2020-12-28 04:01:01 UTC  

Cool. That's not AT&T though.

2020-12-28 04:02:07 UTC  

So it's good for ATT?

2020-12-28 04:02:26 UTC  

They're making money off of it?

2020-12-28 04:02:29 UTC  

They're literally excluded (explicitly) from liability.

2020-12-28 04:03:13 UTC  

They may take a small drop in overall stock prices but not much I imagine.

2020-12-28 04:03:39 UTC  

It also depends on how the force majeure clause is detailed.

2020-12-28 04:03:46 UTC  

... I've shown you.

2020-12-28 04:04:09 UTC  

It's some random something on the Internet it's not the contract that a service provider signs with a customer.

2020-12-28 04:04:18 UTC  

Sure.

> such as explosions.

2020-12-28 04:05:20 UTC  

You think the government signs AT&t's contract?

2020-12-28 04:05:29 UTC  

No AT&t signs the government's contract.
