Mixture & BOAC
Hello.
No conspiracy theories: The mainstream media don't really care about "outages". In my language thats American for short circuit.
It only gets interesting for then if the "outage" lasts long enough to affect their advertising revenue.
Theres always hope that the "Reg" or one of the technical news sites will carry something but I was teaching on Wednesday and general INTERNET access was poor even then.
