The curious stop of the biggest Italian Portal
Yesterday Libero, the biggest Italian Portal, was down all the day... in my office lots of people was crying for the impossibility to read their mail. 
Today the Libero Staff (Wind) has announced the reason of this stop of their services. Portal redesign? Works on their infrastructure? Virus? Nooo... nothing of them!
The real reason is an other: someone has tryed to steal some copper cables in Milan and during this action they have cut off a fiber cable of Wind, stopping all their services (ADSL and Dialup connection down in all the north of Italy). 
Ridiculous, but a big problem for Wind and their users!
