I don't always post under the wrong article but when I do I drink Dos Equis before, during and after posting.

It's the thought that counts. You probably have good plan anyway since she is probably banned from her own hotels.

This will backfire like a well fed big dog that hasn't been out all day. If you railroad people to use your broken, half-baked, unreliable networks and render our highly reliable self-contained devices that we pay for inoperative, well what is to stop us from promoting our machines to be APs with your MAC, your AP name and a big path to nowhere while we drink Long Island Iced Tea in your bar and surf 4G on our Note 4? Go ahead, block my phone too. Maybe you want to call your bankruptcy attorney to discuss your business model first. I was in a Sheraton last week that could not come up up with 2.5M down or get above 80Kbps up on $10 a day "10Mbps premium" service. I took the laptop out in the hall and wandered around too. The pipe was fried everywhere. If my MiFi AP had been blocked and my ability to work affected as a result the whole chain would have earned red-tag status on the extended stay far away plan. Some people just don't think things through.

Compound Cash Stack Shrinkage Error, rebooting ;)

I'd say sue Sony but their lawyers are a bit busy right now.

The "I will remove your phone number from the phone book on the payphone at the end of the block and you will then cease to exist" mentality is truly laughable. I would say these fools need better experts but hey, who am to judge the comedy value of the overfunded clueless people of the world? The problem with MPSonyAA is while they may have more money, other people will always have more brains. Resistance is futile and greed is pointless.

Seriously, $24 million? What fraction of the total scam volume is that? I would bet it is far less than 1%. Actually look at the criminal conduct of Jamie Dimon and his clan and you could probably prevent $24 million dollars an hour in fraud, theft and abuse. Blaming Tor for incompetence is pretty ridiculous.

Too big to jail is guaranteed to fail.

My experience has been that the best direction is the one that serves the panel owner best. While west may make the grid happier, the real question is what actually provides you with the best ROI and that may not be west.

While the Rambo style vigilante response option sounds good on the surface (and don't get me wrong, my natural response would be along these lines if it were not for the legal implications) the problem is that when you do this, you are now violating the same regulations as they are and you are arguably by definition "retaliating" which stacks even more regulatory violations on your illegal response. They have a bus full of overpaid lawyers ready to swoop on you if you "attack" them. For this reason I strongly recommend against this type of response even though the BOFH in me would very much like to employ it.

In the past I have had to deal with L3 on some similar nonsensical "our abusive users are not our problem" crap. As you have already observed, they have a well refined hearing problem. First, decide how much the per call impact is to your business in your opinion. Estimate the number of calls per day and multiply by the per call rate and then by the number of days to come up with a daily and sum "rate of damages". Then have a lawyer letter drafted and sent to their legal department and make sure the letter shows that you also sent a copy of the draft to the FCC Attn: Fraud & Abuse at 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20554.

In about the time it takes you to go to lunch, the problem will subside. At L3, FCC copied abuse resolution rolls down hill, pretty fast.

It's a great place to be. But then again I have never been the trendy/hip/boutique type. My small town on a river with the slow tide is fine with me. It's finally getting cold enough to go shrimping.

Seriously? Are you still running LSI11 platforms in your datacenter? People who don't know the issues with the shuttle are imagining they can drive from the trunk with no camera. I could make a 69 Cadillac Eldorado into a hybrid with a range of about 10 blocks as long as it is not up hill either way.

And you have F.O.S. tattooed on your forehead.

At least there would be a good market for replacement parts.

I would have gone ahead and not bought it now but I guess I will have to wait until AT&T stops doing the nothing they are once again trying to blame on someone else.
