They are talking about a completely new network. It would be more reliable than normal cellular networks with multiple redundancies and would be designed to withstand any future earthquake or other disasters.

The Christchurch earthquakes showed how unreliable the cellular system is. Most cellsites went down within an hour of losing mains power, and when generators were sent out to re-power them they ended up being stolen.
Recently the government wanted to use the cellular network as a national reporting system for Civil Defence to alert people to emergency situations.
Same scenario - if we have a decent quake here the cellular infrastructure won't cut it.
Now they want to use it as the primary means for emergency services communications?
Tell me I'm missing something here.
