      They where so deep into the American telecoms it would be naive to think they where not on ours. I mean they where in the system that was created to backdoor the cellular network in America. I think it’s part of the standard so can’t see why Canada would have been different.

        They’ve all had major screw ups at one time or another.

        The bigger the system, the more points of failure there are, and the fewer people there are who understand the “big picture” of the thing well enough to prevent odd problems, or fix it.
