Mediacom says its problem connecting to another company caused an Internet
service outage for 30,000 - 60,000 Mediacom customers, including KY3 and
KSPR.  The outage started about 1:30 p.m. Monday and was still ongoing four
hours later.   Mediacom said it didn't know how long the problem would last.
It affects customers in Springfield and other areas of southern Missouri.
