The company my sister works for put a bar on all emails and phonecalls
to non company and customer addresses. "The extra traffic is harming
our business effectiveness"???!!! As you can guess this caused a lot of
panic until with the mobile networks overloaded until the phone bar was
lifted.

The company is French by the way


For a short time yesterday, at the request of the emergency services, all
networks had a shutdown on personal mobile calls. This is part of the
standard emergency reaction planning and nothing to do with the nationality
of the company owners, more with the physical location of the networks
concerned.
It was a case of follow the ticklist in the manual and later on review the
need for every measure taken.
