Bell says backup
1990
Overview
A backup system promised after a major telephone outage in 1988 would have prevented Monday's shutdown of regional and long-distance service in the western suburbs, but it remains months away from completion, Illinois Bell officials said Tuesday. \"The alternate network would have routed the calls around the damaged cable,\" Bell spokesman Larry Cose said Tuesday, referring to the so-called redundant lines that Bell is installing for all of its fiber-optic cables. Such lines automatically take calls when primary lines are damaged. Bell's failure to finish the backup was cited in a $150 million class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday against Bell and Kellogg Construction Co. of Hinsdale in Cook County Circuit Court. Kraft Chemical Co. filed the lawsuit on behalf of an estimated 10,000 businesses affected by the service interruption.
