Vodafone's Spanish Network Global Failure

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 20, 2003 @07:44AM from the pepsi-syndrome dept.

TKS writes "It's one of those cases you study that can send a whole network to failure but never really happens. However, this time it did. Today Vodafone's spanish nation wide network stopped working [google Translation / Original Verion] for more than 7 hours leaving eight million clients without service. Allegedly an error updating a node's software expanded to the whole network affecting mobile connections and internet access." The Fish comes in handy if you don't speak Spanish.

They taught Hugh how to be an individual, and when they returned him to the Borg collective, it spread through their network sending them into chaos... Until Lore showed up, but I don't think he showed up here.
