BlackBerry EMEA outage spills over to second day
BlackBerry users across
Europe, the Middle East and Africa again find themselves without service
on Tuesday as a bug that knocked millions of users offline on
Monday has seemingly resurfaced. Research In Motion announced early Tuesday morning that BlackBerry service across the EMEA region had been restored, but the Associated Press later reported that Internet
and messaging services for users across the region are again offline.
The report was later confirmed by several carriers including T-Mobile
UK, Vodafone UK and Etisalat in the United Arab Emirates. The cause of
the outage is unclear, however a report on Monday attributed the massive
service interruption to a bug on a RIM server in England.
