UPMan is right. Most new forms of radio comm's would not be where they are without the internet. D-star and APRS are using the internet to get signals out to other areas but what is going to be bad is one day the internet maybe damaged in a major emergency and then where will we be? If a major earth quake would hit southern Illinois we could be without power for months not just weeks. So much depends on the internet that we don't even think about, but you can bet the terrorist know this.
