**When you have lots of unexpected people with cell phones in a remote area it can cause congestion. More likely overload than shutting down of cell towers and I am not sure how they would shut down cell towers**
Correct. Disruption was caused by too many users trying to connect. Cell sites can only handle a finite number of connects, beyond that users get nothing.
If you ever go to a NASCAR event, you can see the cell companies set up temp cell towers so the crowd can use their internet deices and cell phones.
If this escalates you can be pretty certain Wiki and Anonymous people will come into the fray to provide communication where needed.....
Assane likes to “move” the masses depending which side he takes in the nations he goes into when flareups occur. He was in Egypt when the protesters communication was cut.
