Re: We don`t need another North American Blackout
Yes, but IP is still over wires in most places unless you have something like Sprint (a neighbor of mine) that starts off as a radio. WiFi with a mobile PC will be interesting to see what they do with that, GPS may not be too useful in many cases..
Also IP more vulnerable than regular POTS, my DSL goes out with the power, my POTS almost never goes out with the power unless they are on the same pole that gets knocked out.
So once again, the need for Ham radio is still there, in certain circumstances.
