DataOutages.com - Blackberry & Carrier Service Outage Information Center

"They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material." - Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)." June 2006

BB-Outageis a mail list for people to notify others if RIM's data service or a carrier's data se rvice is down in a particular area. if Data Service is down in China, USA, A particular state, city, country, etc, for people then post the area to the list so others are notified. It's probably best to subscribe from an address that's not associated with your Blackberry since if RIM's data service is down, you won't get the e-mail anyhow.
