This is a big problem…especially when it comes to finances and banking.
Not being able to access accounts may mean that some customers are slapped with penalties for late payments.
Not only that many vulnerable people will have been left in limbo…being unable to use their lifeline emergency support. For such people 12 hrs is a long time…and dangerous.

Very soon we are going to be converted to Voice Over Internet Protocol….so this would mean for us that there was no access to any kind of services.
It is a big worry and when one telecommunication giant goes down there should be back up by other companies.
I do not know how this could work, but surely it is not beyond human intelligence to do this…or perhaps we should hand this over to AI
