Part of the web service provided by the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) to special users, including RSS, XML and PDA webpages was temporarily suspended this morning due to hardware problems at the Internet Service Provider (ISP). The service resumed normal at around 2 pm after emergency repairs by the ISP. During this period, the HKO website operated normally. HKO is now liaising closely with the ISP to ensure that similar problems will not recur.
