[ NNSquad ] AP report on cell phones contradicted by carriers
AP report on cell phones contradicted by carriers Various sources including Verizon and Sprint are contradicting AP's reports of an ordered cell phone shutdown in Boston, but note massive overloading of cell networks preventing persons without landlines from communicating by phone. This is unfortunately a common situation in emergencies, due to provisioning and inherent technology limitations. More info as warranted. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
