American Samoan Blue Sky customers temporarily experienced an outage in internet service yesterday as the telecommunications company changed over from one satellite service to another.

The company warned customers the night before that there would be a temporary interruption in their long distance phone and internet service beginning at 3 am yesterday, but before 6 am the service was back on.

Blue Sky said that the satellite it was using was being removed from service and they had to move to another one.
