Ok, apparently this *is* affecting data. :-) This outage is affecting all 4 carriers, and in many states, according to reports in a number of channels. I have this from a Tampa local: """ This is because of an update in the systems from the Sprint side to help merge with T Mobile. That happened from 12am-6am EST and Sprint's systems clashed with T Mobile's. I'm glad I have off today. """ That's not going to esplain the other carriers' problems, of course, but... Now that everyone knows that everyone knows, let's keep the main-list traffic to either *actual ticket data*, or *actual clearance reports*; put everything else on -discuss, please.
