If this were a major cyber-attack and cellular networks were down for an extended period of time, I would not be worried about when the service would be restored, I would be worried about what would be coming next, everything from social unrest to some type of major event that happens when everyone is distracted by a cellular outage.

Yes, exactly.
We know that in just the past 12 months or so ~60,000 military age Chinese nationals have entered through the southern border, along with an unknown but large number of men from the middle east. Not all of those guys came here to pick grapes.
Job one before starting some trouble would be to take out coms., though if I was going to pick a fight with a civilian population, I wouldn't start with Texas and Florida, which is where most of the outages have been reported.
Probably nothing, maybe a test, but definitely a warning to anyone paying attention.
OK, gonna take my tin-foil hat off for a while, but I'm still gonna go out and buy more ammo at lunch.
