Yes. We use it to have a backup communication channel when all other networks are down. This is an extremely unlikely scenario. If that happens wireless communication is going to be the least of the problems.

Another Carringron scale event is not only likely, it’s virtually inevitable. Whether it happens in our lifetime remains to be seen, but it would fry much of our communication infrastructure. The status quo is much more fragile than it appears.
