The Samoa Observer's James Robertson reported today that much of Samoa woke up in confusion today as mobile phones, computers, and other cellular-enabled devices displayed the time as 10:00 when it was in fact 09:00. Many reportedly arrived at church early because their cell phones incorrectly sprang forward. An anonymous employee at Digicel said that Digicel hadn't been given enough notice. Vodafone Samoa apparently did not respond to media inquiry. The Observer's Marc Membrere reports tomorrow that the president of the Samoa Information Technology Association (S.I.T.A.) criticized the government for not consulting tech experts about the effect of changing DST rules with so little notice. ---- Robertson J.
