Good question...but I'll point out that, in disaster, the Internet is almost always the last bit of infrastructure to quit. (How long were those bloggers able to post to the net after Katrina?) By the time the disaster is seen as having suficient scope to outlast the Internet infrastructure, other resources can be brought to bear. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC at K6ZC port B http://www.conmicro.com http://www.k6zc.org http://www.tronguy.net http://jmaynard.livejournal.com (Yes, that's me!) http://www.hercules-390.org
