Apparently their switching and core infrastructure (affecting both voice and
data) across the LA basin. Been ongoing since about 5pm PDT. One of the

"Company officials told KCBS and KCAL-TV that about 1,000 cell phone towers
were out of service and the problems were not expected to be fixed until 2:30
