[EAS] No Internet?

[Clay Freinwald]

One of the reasons why the WA-State SECC continues to insist that we
maintain and routinely test our Analog/Wireless back up systems.
The Internet is wonderful and powerful - However it can represent a classic
SPOF.

I asked a gathering of Emergency Managers a while back the following -

day?

continue operations that means that the Hams are now your life-line?

It looks like Spectrum/Charter has been having multiple internal network
problems in multiple regions across the country for the last 12 hours. 
It does not appear to be affecting other major providers.
