Instant messaging steps in for jammed phones **
http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/2001/09/12/instant-messaging-usat.htm

** This is interesting because the Internet actually worked how its
designers wanted it to, namely by routing around outages in a time of
crisis via a decentralized communications network:

http://www.davesite.com/webstation/net-history.shtml

"Paul Baran, of the RAND Corporation (a government agency), was
commissioned by the U.S. Air Force to do a study on how it could maintain
its command and control over its missiles and bombers, after a nuclear
attack. This was to be a military research network that could survive a
nuclear strike, decentralized so that if any locations (cities) in the U.S.
were attacked, the military could still have control of nuclear arms for a
counter-attack."
