A critical network outage as part of Research in Motion is to blame for millions of Blackberry users not having any service in North America today. Other continents, including Latin America, have been dealing with this outage for a few days now.
Research in Motion (RIM) is the maker of Blackberry smartphones, and unlike other cellphone manufacturers, they handle the message traffic of the smartphones, also. The service outage started on Monday with customers in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. South America and Asia experienced difficulty with service beginning on Tuesday. The United States and Canada joined the "party" on Wednesday.
According to Research in Motion, Ltd, "A crucial link in its European infrastructure failed Monday, and a backup didn't work either. The underlying problem has been fixed, but a backlog of emails and messages has built up that the company has yet to work down."
Is this acceptable in today's day and age?
