Parece que vimos algo parecido a casi un año de la última vez que ocurrió una avería en el area de data de BlackBerry.
Durante el día de ayer, varios clientes de Vodafone en especifico, reportaron latencia o no recibir mensajes y no poder navegar el internet.
Se indicó que el problema se propagó hasta en el área de África y en el peor momento no pudiera ocurrir a casi de celebrase un año del fatídico outage masivo que obligó a Research In Motion a incentivar a desarrolladores para que algunas aplicaciones pagadas, fueran dadas de gratis.
RIM menciona:
Our apologies to any customers impacted by the BlackBerry service issue today. We can confirm that services have been restored and are now operating normally.
Thorsten Heins, CEO de RIM agrega:
I want to apologize to those BlackBerry customers in Europe and Africa who experienced an impact in their quality of service earlier this morning. The BlackBerry service is now fully restored and I can report that no data or messages were lost. Up to 6 percent of our user base may have been impacted. Preliminary analysis suggests that those customers may have experienced a maximum delay of 3 hours in the delivery and reception of their messages. We are conducting a full technical analysis of this quality of service issue and will report as soon as it concludes. I again want to apologize to those customers who were impacted today.
Afortunadamente no pasó más nada de allí.
