| no more politics You know, it would be nice to visit at least ONE technology
related website without having to endure the bombardment of
threads where nothing more it added to a discussion other than
"it's Bush's fault" for everything from people spitting on a sidewalk to a bridge collapse.
As for the cellphone networks, perhaps if they haven't already considered it, they should ask the volunteers with the amateur
radio community to fill in the communications problem. We are always ready when asked, and practice emergency communications
drills for such disasters.
The "ham radios" that everyone says are ancient, won't work, and should have been relegated to the trash bin, will work
when the high tech digital phone networks are overloaded or are disrupted by some sort of disaster. Our radios are powered in disasters independently of the local power grid.
Sometimes the old technology still has a place.

When the story is about a disaster and that disaster is caused by politics, people will talk politics.
They knew the bridge needed repair, someone along the line claimed there was no money for it.
