 to add my two cents worth, i totally agree that the only reliable communications
network is the one you have total control over.  during the blackout in NYC i
experienced problems with most wireless carriers, although i must say that verizon
was the best on the wireless side.  i agree with earlier comments regarding
Nextel.  in fact, i had to loan Nextel a circuit from my generator so they could
power a microcell in their on facility. Bill Gross
