<div>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.<br>

<div>Recently the government wanted to use the cellular network
as a national reporting system for Civil Defence to alert
people to emergency situations.</div>

infrastructure won't cut it.</div>

services communications?</div>
