Excellent points.
Will we see ghost towns and vacant buildings in the areas you mention?
What happened was that last Thursday there was a freak windstorm that knocked out towers used by both my main ISP and my back up ISP --which was why every time I wanted to log on I had to climb on my roof and connect the computer & cell phone thru a parabolic reflector I got ducktaped to my roof deck. 8P The next day one ISP came back up but it's been intermittent so I'll type fast today...
