Is there a MOTD for the outage in Palmerston North?  It's been dead since this morning.

"Telecom technical analyst Ravi Sharma said heavy cell phone traffic was found to be the cause and most towers are now working."

Not sure how "heavy cell phone traffic" could cause this when there would be zero traffic.  If heavy traffic caused it then surely the issue is due to the gear not being able to keep up.
