Hello everyone,
According to CBS News:
Cellphone, internet outages reported across the U.S.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cell-phone-internet-outages-reported-across-the-u-s/
Is this true? Has anyone here been affected? We can't tell as we're currently overseas...
If true, it's nothing short of shameful: all cellphone carriers depending on a single fiber is simply inexcusable (each carrier should have its own communications network, and each one should have a backup line, be it another separate fiber routed through another location, a microwave link, or whatever...).
(Vall is an old-time telecom guy and is astonished if that's the current way of doing business).
Cheers,
