Yes indeed, it is sad to see what the population has reduced down to.
Well, I guess  when peak everything  hits us and  the internet deteriates  to
the
point where it is basically inoperable then  we might see a lot of packet  gear
being dug out of cupboards.
One minor study I saw postulated that we will be able to keep a conventional
POTS telephone system  going locally but  I hope the  Telstras of this  world
don't
scrap  all the  copper under  the roadways.  We might  well need  it  in  the
future.
Perhaps I won't see it, but perhaps we should encoutage the maintaining of
as much RF gear as possible. Old repairable gear like valve txs and rxs might
be invaluable if all the valves have not dissapeared.

Any glass blowers around ?
