Fire in Canada disrupts Smart’s Blackberry service in RP - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

MANILA, Philippines -- A fire has damaged Research in Motion (RIM)'s Blackberry e-mail server link in Canada, affecting the push e-mail services of Smart Communications, the local mobile operator said in an advisory.

"The incident has affected the leased line connecting RIM's e-mail server in Canada to Smart's GPRS platform in the Philippines, which continues to operate normally," the company added.

In the Philippines, only Smart's Blackberry service has been affected.

Smart said the problem was detected Wednesday morning. The company added that RIM's technical personnel are currently working to re-route traffic and expects normal services soon. Another advisory said that Smart and RIM are testing a solution to bring the push e-mail service back online.

There was no fire in Canada. That information is bogus. I called RIM's headquarters in Canada and also their technical support group.

Those guys said if there was a fire they would have known about it.

Why do you suppose Smart is feed BS to the Inquirer?
