Fortunately, where I am sitting the weather hasn’t been a distraction this week. Nicer weather might have otherwise torn me away from time in front of my screens. <\/p>\n
And thankfully, my rural fixed wireless connectivity remained intact, enabling me to participate in media interviews and share information on Twitter during the Rogers network outage last week.<\/p>\n
Here is a partial listing of media appearances over the past week:<\/p>\n
With a lot of misinformation circulating during the outage, I tried to be helpful and measured. For example, last Friday, as stories emerged about difficulties completing emergency calls, I provided advice that most phones in Canada should be able to reach 9-1-1 without a SIM card.<\/p>\n
\nIf you are a Rogers mobile customer and have a real emergency, many phones will allow 911 calls without an SIM card. Try popping out the SIM or ask a neighbour to borrow their phone<\/p>\n
