Norway: Network Error Takes Out Cell Phone Coverage

Last week, it was a major mobile phone outage in Colorado.

This week, it looks like it's Norway. An AP newswire story on Yahoo! News reports that:

Hundreds of thousands of Norwegians were without cell phone coverage Monday after the country's second largest operator was hit by a network breakdown.

At least 20 percent of Netcom's 1.2 million customers were not able to place calls or send text messages. The network broke down Sunday evening, was fixed over night, but broke down again Monday. Netcom said it was not clear when the network would be back up.
