URCA investigates blackout, BTC suspects sabotage

摘要

Bahamian telecoms regulator the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) has informed the Bahamas Telecommunication Company (BTC) that it is investigating the telecom provider's actions regarding the recent network blackouts. The watchdog said it was looking into whether or not BTC took all 'reasonably practicable' measures to prevent network outages and if the telecom provider took all appropriate steps to restore the networks within the shortest time frame possible. The URCA has required BTC to provide a detailed report on the outage, covering technical details of points of failure, the impact of each failure and the time in which personnel responded.
