Dear MAK as far as I had been informed (from a reliable source, who would not care to share any "political" issues either), they had a major burnout after the first storm. Later, the products they installed were crappy, and at the moment they are both trying to fix the existing crappy ones and find quality ones at the soonest possible notice. As for downtime, they still cannot predict any endline.
I might be wrong altogether, but the issue with BTRC seem to be quite outrageous perception -- given our national habit and stand. I am even prepared to bet on the issue of how many of the BTRC people actually know how radio frequency works or how to identify if anyone has crossed the limits -- let alone any suitable equipment to go for investigation :D. happy linuxing.
