BIS Severely Down - No ETA For Reconnection

Many of you may be feeling the pain of BIS being down. We know every time BIS goes down we get quite frustrated. One of our Verizon ninjas snagged us a photo of how VZW is dealing with the BIS outage. Apparently, neither RIM nor Verizon have any idea when services will be fixed. It looks as though VZW has received word that the BIS outage has spread to all carriers. Is this the worst outage? No internet, no e-mails, and NO BBM?! Let's hope RIM finds a solution and gets BIS working again, fast. How are you dealing with the issue?
