Phone-in frenzy made BT see red

Article Abstract:

British Telecom's (BT) security network centre at Oswestry in Shropshire, UK controls all off its domestic and overseas calls. The service is 24 hours. Transmissions and volume of traffic is monitored by huge video maps. BT's services were unable to cope with the volume of calls in mid-Jul 1993 when the talent show phone-in 'Stars in their Eyes' was broadcasted. BT provided 10,000 lines but over 10 million calls were attempted in 15 minutes which BT could not manage even with call-gapping.

Theft on phones is costing 50m pounds sterling a year

Article Abstract:

Around 15,000 mobile phones are reported stolen every month, and theft is costing the industry more than 50 million pounds sterling a year. Mobile phones are most frequently stolen from cars, and there are signs that organised gangs are involved. The owner of the stolen phone may well find that the theft is not covered by household or car insurance, and a replacement phone can cost much more than the price paid for the first one.
