What are normal outage rates?
Some on the forum thread noted that they hadn't seen ATT down this hard for quite some time (early cell phone times).
I think solar flares and conditions impacting orbiting satellites could cause broad groups of communications companies to flounder.
I'm just going to try to watch this week for interruptions of cell phones should they continue or deepen in case they develop into the communications outtages spoken of in Q4414 (e.g., in case they are practicing).
For now, it looks like all is well, but I'm mindful that riots are anticipated for June 21.
