What's Wrong with the Phones at The Wall Street Journal? [Update]

For over an hour, the main number to Dow Jones, and specific numbers to desks at The Wall Street Journal, have had a busy signal. It's Friday, and deadline is fast approaching for reporters ...

UPDATE: One hour later, still busy.

UPDATE II: Apparently no calls are getting through to the World Financial Center, The Journal's home.  An e-mail was just sent out to the newsroom: "This appears to be a hardware problem external to Dow Jones and WFC. The vendor is working to restore inbound calls capability as quickly as possible. As soon as service is restored an update will be distributed."

UPDATE III: It's 5:45 and they work again!
