And I might interject the newest DMR technology amateur radio repeater
systems, in part built for emergency communications, rely upon the Internet 
to link to each other through a traffic server.    So, you can assume, in a 
crisis the interconnectivity will fail leaving only the local RF link
operative.  This is why our RACES nets also use HF radio as a means of
staying in contact with the State EOC.  Also, our older RF linked repeaters
are more apt to function.

Perhaps the time has come when we need to better define the term 'Wireless'?

The problem is that many of our modern wireless systems are required to make
sure of a wired connection to a switching office etc.  TRUE wireless is
indeed as you say, utilized RF links to maintain operability.
