That analogy is false. A loaded gun can be used to kill people if the criminal still has it - and there is no other way to stop the killing other than to take it away.
In this case Verizon/AT&T could EASILY shut down their access without confiscating any equipment whatsoever. As a business owner it worries me greatly that my equipment could be confiscated for essentially forever just because some idiot in the next cage decided it's a good idea to defraud AT&T. I mention forever because in essence servers these days get replaced every few years anyway. If they kept the equipment for 2-3 years they've essentially kept it beyond the useful life of the machine. -- Nitzan --- On Sun, 5/17/09, ContactTel Business <[email protected]> wrote: > From: ContactTel Business <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] on the topic of fraud > To: "'Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion'" > <[email protected]> > Date: Sunday, May 17, 2009, 12:52 PM > Not how it works... > > Data could be on drives that could allow the guys to > continue doing what > they were doing, which is illegal in a way. > > You can't leave a loaded gun in a killers hand, and just > clone it > > One of the reason they took it all, is to stop the > hemorrhagic situation, > then to analyse, > > There are tons of killswitch systems out there _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
