After reading this and the other scary stories (Paypal and even Google come to mind) - this seems like a perfect area for a new startup that has "connections" to the inside of each of these service providers and can help you restore or at least get answers. You pay them a flat fee and have some strict timelines that they can guarantee.
- reitzensteinm 16y agoWoah, no way would that arrangement last for any amount of time. "I couldn't get my money back until I bribed a third party company" would be a PR disaster of epic propotions, and the fallout would involve cutting of ties. You can insure yourself well enough by having a good network or being part of a community such as this one, but making the deal explicit would never work. Anyway, isn't the option of lawyering up and suing basically equivilant and available today?
- duck 16y agoWell, I am basically thinking a type of arbitration which I am sure in some ways is available today. Instead of suing though, it is more like avoiding that since you never win even if you do win. Probably not a great idea either way though and the better way to do it is to always be ready to move to another service/cloud provider. It is just another form of a disaster and should be included in your recovery plans.
