Would stock markets crash and water/rail etc networks to go tits-up because of a major 1min phone outage?
We dont realise how dependent we are on the telephone!
We're not that dependent, all of us have lasted much longer than a minute without talking to anybody (days, months, years?)
Now if the telephone system suddenly stopped then that's another story, until we get broadband to everybody then not many will have access to the internet in a time of crisis such as the telephone and television lines being severed
We'll always have radio I suppose...
