I wonder if we've had mobile phone saturation long enough that they could measure attendance just by looking at cellular data.

At the Boston march, networks couldn't handle load - it was the first time I haven't had network access for hours in years. Maybe this wouldn't preclude the network registering my phone's requests (and our phones were reporting signal bars) but it's to be considered that our cellular infrastructure isn't built to handle massive protests at this scale.

Sounds like the Boston police department needs to order more Stingrays!
