      The word we got is that problems very regional - the core issue is that some 911 dispatches when overwhelmed (like what happens when the FAA does something dramatic like shut down the whole of US controlled airspace…) aren’t able to shift any overload to other centers like they normally would. I have been told this is a result of microsoft’s outage hitting enterprise Exchange servers, though I’m unclear of the specifics on how the network relies on that product…
