[IB Publisher's note: See Ea O Ka Aina: Off the Web from 3/5/17 for a preview of this affliction. We have had internet yet no telephone service since then. And by the way, Hawaiian Telcom has said its widespread phone outage problems will continue through 3/16 in Hanapepe Valley on Kauai.]

Two weeks after a massive Amazon Cloud outage crippled numerous websites on the East Coast, this morning users of AT&T across the nation are reporting widespread outages in their cellphone service.

This appears to be confirmed by the current downdetector.com/status/att data on reported problems with the cellphone carrier. (IB note: checking this site indicates problems still exist at 9:00am HST 3/11/17).

Twitter users from around the country have confirmed the interruption in service.

While some have joked that AT&T has activated the downtime to remove embedded CIA eavesdropping features, for now there has been no official statement from AT&T... or from the crack team of Kremlin-controlled spies for that matter.
