Well it goes the same way with wifi. We payed to put the satelites and build up technology in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's with the blesing bestowed on us by those who lived in the depression and the world wars. So now we have internet providers and telephone compamies with cell phone compamies and on and on with our investment gone over to them to control us, when the King of Glory said to communicate and distribute are the sacrifices he is well pleased with. If we all distribute then we all own it all and therefore it is now free in the end. The technology is ours and is to be used immediatly to help all the world. Give it back now.

Which makes me wonder just how reliable cell service would be in any sort of wide-spread disaster.

That way, instead of having the whole city's cell network go down at the most critical time for communication, we'll be able to use the tranception capacities of the cell phones around us to get text messages to our loved ones.
