Tower, tower, wherefore art thou....

In the ongoing saga of the Wireless Internet Wars (WIW), it seemed this morning someone stole the transmitting tower right off the roof of the Mexico Wireless offices. The office is just near the TelMex business office on the main highway through town. This could only be the work of some nefarious ex-employee, it was reasoned.



Turns out it was the work of the current owner and a nefarious employee! In an effort to scuttle business following a failed buyout, they figured they would get back at the lost new buyer by screwing up his business: cancelling out the signal to the Instituto Technologico, which has recently been given a huge gift of hardware by IBM U.S.A.

But wait! In the process, they scuttled the signal to a whole raft of their own customers, who were, to say the least... pissed. And wait again! Since the new owner never actually became the new owner, weren't they shooting... themselves... in the foot... to spite their toes?! Woh, yeah.

At the same time, some kind of connection snafu caused TelMex, which supplies their T1 lines, to suspect an overabundance of virused spams being sent out on Mexico Wireless's system, and they shut down one of their T1 lines. So even more customers were without service.

It never rains, but it pours, huh? Eh? Eh? Eh?
