Network outages are a not uncommon occurrence in this modern world and even super high-tech Japan is not immune to the gremlins in the machine that occasionally mess with our phones, tablets, and PCs ability to talk to each other. And… that’s about all I’ve got to say on the issue so onto the article!

KDDI has reoccurrence of LTE network outages –maximum of 17.5 million customers affected
KDDI (au) announced that its high-speed data (LTE) service for mobile phones experienced a network outage between 12:05 am and 1:53 am this morning that caused some phones to be unable to send/receive data. Nationally, a maximum of around 17.5 million customers were affected. A similar outage occurred on 12/31/12 and the company is hurrying to resolve the issue.
Smartphones (like the iPhone 5) and tablets that use the company’s LTE data service became unable to connect to the Internet or send email. According to KDDI, it appears that the cause was at a data facility where there was a malfunction in the processing of signals uses for the exchange of data. A press release stated “the root cause has not yet been identified,” and that investigation was continuing.
