Until the internet, PCS, and wireline service are summarily or
individually  unavailable to them. Eg, a CO is inundated/damaged taking
out all comms for a given town (or county seat.) The only thing left in
service is private wireless.

Yes, the web has it's catchy app's and services. The current AT&T ads
showing a family having lost it's internet service should serve up a
reminder the IoT is a delicate balancing act carrying a lot of false
confidences and presumptions.

But who am I to know any better? I'm just a radio guy....
