"Telephone lines of 9.0 disconnected" News alert.Does it make any sense?

Last night I heard a news coming under the heading of "news alert" that telephone lines of 90 are disconnected. Once again our media start highlighting this issue as there is some kind of bomb blast and trying to relate this issue as government has done something. What I want to say is that 90 is also located in Pakistan and there can also be problems Like Telephone disconnections, load shedding etc. One more thing I want to add is that I think People sitting in 90 uses Skype more as compared to PTCL. :-) So they should Thank God that their Internet connections are still working.
