Power failure prompts outages for AT&T mobile phone users in Midwest
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just saw this: [snip] AT&T customers in Chicago have been experiencing disruptions in cell phone service throughout the day due to a power failure in Michigan Sunday morning. AT&T spokeswoman Meghan Roskopf, also experiencing service disruption, said via email that technicians are working to restore the equipment Sunday afternoon. "At about 9:30 a.m. CST on Dec. 28, a power failure impacted an AT&T facility in Bloomfield, MI. This situation has resulted in intermittent disruption of mobile services for customers in some Midwest states," Roskopf said in a statement. "Backup power has subsequently been restored, and AT&T technicians currently are working to fully restore the impacted equipment." At 5 p.m., Roskopf said "a substantial portion of the impacted equipment was back in service" and that crews would be working "around the clock" to repair the damage.

Things seemed to be better around 8pm last night. While driving to a relatives house, there were widespread areas without cellular service on AT&T, and intermittent authentication failures for data service. I was also unable to use WPS and GETS during that time from my cellular telephone. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

It's probably a good idea to report that to NCS (and good thinking to test it). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@cisco.com> // +852.9133.2844 mobile All behavior is economic in motivation and/or consequence.

Most of these filings are flagged as confidnetal, so unless you work at the carrier or the FCC you are unlikely to get information. (outside of NSIE/NSTAC or GAO reports). - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.

My comment was specifically about reporting to NCS that GETS wasn't working, sorry for being unclear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@cisco.com> // +852.9133.2844 mobile All behavior is economic in motivation and/or consequence.
