Service Providers Under Stress as People Begin Working from Home
As the COVID-19 outbreak forces nations to close down, companies are making telecommuting mandatory for all employees. Although the concept of working from home is not new, the urgent need for social distancing is quickly making it the new norm.
This will inevitably put pressure on internet and mobile providers to ensure robust network performance in the coming months.
And we are already beginning to see how some service providers are not ready to handle the increasing demand.

The issues apparently resulted from a short-lived network congestion problem which affected calls made over 3G for the three major networks – O2, EE and Vodafone.
A spokesperson for O2 stated: “Today the industry experienced an issue that meant some calls between different networks were unable to connect. Specifically, O2, Vodafone and Three were unable to connect to EE ..

Its Not a Test Championship Without Pak-Ind Matches: Waqar Younis
Former Pakistan captain, Waqar Younis has come forward with the suggestion that the International Cricket Council (ICC) needs to intervene for Pakistan-India cricketing ties to improve.
In an interview, the current bowling coach of Pakistan cricket team said that the ICC World Test Championship without a Pakistan-India series does not make any sense.
The ICC should have intervened and done something because to me having a test championship without Pakistan and India Test matches makes no sense.
As per the rules, each team has to play 6 other teams in the two-year-long competition, meaning that the arch-rivals don’t have to face each other in the tournament.
