as somebody more observant pointed out, LA can mean many things - Los
Angeles, in this case.

Nothing official but I was in the area (San Fernando Valley - Van Nuys)
and had good 3G data but no voice service. Initially good signal
strength but an intercept stating call could not be completed at this
time, then went to no bars strength and "out of range". 3G data
continued to work throughout. Timeframe roughly 1530 to 1700 PDT.
Cleared up shortly thereafter or I drove out of the affected area
(northbound 101 towards Ventura).

thanks, Jay. I got confirmation yesterday that BB email delivery was
also affected, and that the situation appears to have been resolved
now (email has begun flooding in again).

(I'm out around Thousand Oaks and had no interruptions in mail or data
on an ATT iPhone, but didn't check on voice.)
