Albemarle Fire and Rescue did not say how, but a fiber line was severed late Tuesday morning immediately cutting those services from both providers. CenturyLink expected repair and restoration to take 24 hours, and sure enough it was restored shortly after 11am. https://wina.com/news/064460-fiber-line-cut-puts-land-line-and-internet-service-out-in-southern-albemarle/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200723123233.GA21397@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 12:32:33 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: NY State Senators Pressure Verizon to Fix Highway Dead Zone This week, New York Senators James Skoufis and David Carlucci announced the construction of two Verizon Wireless towers to fix dangerous dead zones on the Palisades Parkway, according to the Rockland Report. Both towers are expected to be completed this summer and anticipated to be fully active by the end of 2020. Carlucci said, "Dead-zones like this stretch of highway are extremely dangerous. EMS has told us, in some cases, accidents cannot be reported until 15 to 20 minutes later. If first responders are delayed to an accident scene, then lives can be lost." https://insidetowers.com/cell-tower-news-senators-pressure-verizon-to-fix-highway-dead-zone/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Fri, 24 Jul 2020
