[BC] KOMO, Seattle building fire

Redundancy is common in broadcast.  After all, the stations in the  
building remained on-air.
 
Chris, you would expect a company like Authorize to have more than one data 
 center to offer redundancy.  It's a no-brainer for a financial services  
provider to have redundant systems.  Odds are heads will roll and customers  
will look for other CC processors.
 
You'd mention VertBiz has backups involving another - competing -  
provider.  You may have a new customer segment. Authorize could use your  service as 
off-site backup.

Authorize.net, is located in the datacenter there.  They are  now 
approaching 12 hours of downtime.   Ask any of their  customers how much 
they enjoy not processing payments going into a holiday  weekend.>>
