CNN has reported that a whole substation located near the WTC has been
destroyed, and that the only source of AC will be generators brought in
today.  I'd say that given people are still using cellphones from inside
the rubble of WTC, that the telco infrastructure that will get first
priority will be cell basestations, and not isp's...
