Why not just make an NTSB for internet outages?
- wmf 19y agoAn outage at a Web 2.0 site is unlikely to kill anyone, so it doesn't justify government intervention like the NTSB. Laws have been proposed requiring companies to report on privacy breaches, but I don't think they require companies to say why the breach happened, and they don't require an outside audit. The ROC project suggested something similar, although their analogy was not to the NTSB but an internal Ma Bell policy that required a report to be written for all outages. However, most companies don't want to release details about their outages, especially ones that are not customer-visible. When companies do talk about outages (as Joel just did) it's usually as a form of PR damage control. http://roc.cs.berkeley.edu/#pubs http://roc.cs.berkeley.edu/#pubs
