Sprint LD routing affected by Katrina?

[Jon Lewis <jlewis () lewis org>]

I've encountered several toll free numbers (like the BellSouth DSG) which 
can no longer be dialed from Gainesville, FL roughly coinciding with 
Katrina slamming the Gulf Coast.  I finally called BellSouth (the local 
ILEC) and asked what was up, as I can't get through from Gainesville, but 
I can if I use our VOIP network to route the calls out through other 
cities in FL (or if I use my Cingular cell phone).

According to BellSouth repair, it's a Sprint call routing problem.  I 
found it amusing and unlikely that BellSouth's DSG would use Sprint for 
their phone lines.

Is anyone aware of Sprint having LD voice routing issues, probably a 
result of Katrina damage?
