"shared costs across companies as it's very unlikely all of them go down the same day?"

If this were something on offer and BA had signed up for it, how would all the other corporate clients feel knowing that BA are now using the DR centre, so if anything goes pear shaped, they're on their own? Its like paying for an insurance policy that won't pay out if somebody else has made a similar claim before you on a given day. Would you buy cheap car insurance with a clause that reads:

"RBS Bastardo Ledswinger Insurance plc pay only one claim each working day across all policies written and in force; If your claim is our second or subsequent of that day it will not be paid, although we will deem the claim fully honoured. No refunds, the noo!"?
