ASSISTANT VICE CHANCELLOR - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPUTING & TELECOMMUNICATIONS May 20, 1998 ALL AT UCSD SUBJECT: Failure of Paging Services As many of you are aware, millions of U.S. pager users lost service last night due to a major satellite failure that affected the entire country. Coverage was partially restored to a number of major cities but full coverage has not resumed in any metropolitan market. Members of the UCSD community who subscribe to the AirTouch Paging system were affected along with everyone else. Although we have not received an official confirmation yet, it is anticipated that most AirTouch services will be restored within a couple of days. In the meantime, we recommend the use of alternative communication mechanisms such as cellular phones. If you have any questions, please contact our Help Desk at x41853. Elazar C. Harel Assistant Vice Chancellor, ACT |
