Еще про аварии и про мобильники

Александра прислала мне ссылку с информацией о том, что произошло с компанией Sprint (Nextel).

Thousands of customers of Sprint Nextel wireless and its resellers, such as Virgin Mobile, were without service Monday after the network suffered two separate fiber cuts, a company spokesman said.

At about 12:30 p.m. PST, a fiber cut between Palm Springs, Calif., and Phoenix had interrupted service for Sprint Nextel’s wireless, wireline and long-distance customers. Most of the customers affected were on the West Coast. But there were reports of service interruptions in the Midwest and on the East Coast, too.

Sprint Nextel, like all major carriers, has a redundant fiber optic network, so if one link fails, traffic will be routed to another fiber without service interruption. But Monday, much of the traffic running on the Phoenix/Palm Springs link already had been rerouted from a link outside Reno, Nev. Heavy rains in the area had caused what technicians refer to as a “washout.” To repair the fiber, the company had to cut it and shift traffic from Reno to the Phoenix link while they repaired the fiber.

Отсюда.

С одной лишь поправкой: — в сообщении говорится о другом дне, когда у Спринта произошел сбой в сети.
