Ravenous rodents knock out Swedish phones
File under low tech. Hungry field mice caused a 20-hour telephone blackout in central Sweden after gnawing through cables, reports Reuters. Telecom operator TeliaSonera said on Tuesday that fixed-line phone connections for more than 1,500 homes in Jamtland and Medelpad in central Sweden, were severed late on Monday by hungry rodents chewing their way through a fibre-optic cable near the town of Ange. Mobile phones were also cut off. "This is not at all common," said Hans Borjesson, a technician at TeliaSoneria. |
