Comment on UK: Phone networks down: EE, BT, Three, Vodafone, O2 not working in mass outageparent

Comments

I know one outcome of it was to ensure that they were equipped with SIMs for Competitor networks just in case

You're saying that Rogers personnel now have non-Rogers SIM cards?

I’m surprised the CTO on holiday didn’t have a sat phone.

I'm in the industry, though not a CTO. Nobody [that I know, on the tech side] has a sat phone.

I mean, incredibly critical personnel probably should be! There may only be a few dozen such people, but I wouldn't want the added chaos caused in the event of a Rogers outage if I couldn't get in touch with the key decision makers and most critical operations engineers because of the very outage they're meant to fix. And in the e-sim era that is hopefully very cheap and without any real downsides.
