Granted, but this is a PR statement. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is "in the process of beginning to implement" stages, not "We were waiting to have everything fully functional before making a statement about it".

But that said, yes, good on them.

>>It would take most companies several months to even get close to this.

I think that if a company's ability to remain in business was dependent on getting this sort of infrastructure change in place, most would be able to pull it off. Pulling it off well is another question entirely, and I'm going to be interested to see what kind of service they provide in the next couple of months.

I agree that these are no small feat, and while I honestly think that these things were huge gaps in the service previously, I do applaud the quick implementation of them.

However, even if they could not be implemented immediately, coming out early, before the story really blew up, talking about it openly and frankly, and announcing these changes would have done wonders. Instead, they've been beaten up in the press for the last week or two for their relative silence.
