Default Blackberry Blackout - Again
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hGtD3q8RLSZUDnMruP4vx-LQe1pgD8UOFHA80

"A major service outage afflicted users of the popular, addictive BlackBerry smart phones across the United States and Canada on Monday. Officials with AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless said BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. told them customers of all wireless carriers were affected. It was not immediately clear how many of the 12 million worldwide BlackBerry subscribers had problems, as some users reported being able to access their service normally Monday afternoon. But Garth Turner, a member of the Canadian Parliament, said during a caucus meeting that the incident � the second widespread disruption in 10 months � was having a big impact."

I just don't get the RIM/Blackberry model where traffic is routed through a specific set of computers. Normal internet email doesn't work like this - have you ever heard of all internet email going out like this? No, of course not. Why should mobile email be any different?
