news:Cingular recovers from network outages

Cingular recovers from network outages
Cingular Wireless last weekend experienced major network outages, leaving
about 900,000 subscribers without service. The outages stretched from Friday
afternoon until Sunday morning. While Cingular would not comment on the
possible causes for the blackout, the company is investigating the failure
of an HLR (Home Location Register) in Atlanta. The carrier also said it is
considering whether to give blanket credits to all subscribers in the
affected areas. Earlier this month, California state regulators fined
Cingular Wireless $12.1 million in part for offering poor quality of
service.

Yesterday's news.
I can across statistics ranging from 19 to 4 percent of customers being
impacted. The original impact area was right where they are extending
their services. The reality is that they can't allow such incidents and
still keep up a good public image.

Spoke with a cap with a conspiracy theory. His claim was that as HLR is
not in exclusive vendor control it is possible for the competition to
cause software disruptions. While I was telling him where to put it
another chap came in claiming that some of AT&T's system had just gone
down- same issues. Is there a full moon tonight?
