Cell Phones During Crises What did we learn about cell phone use during this crisis? 1. Wireless systems get overloaded during crises. Federal agencies may force Wireless companies to design their systems to be designed for peak efficiency. This could be advantageous for CDMA carriers who use existing spectrum more efficiently. 2. Use of satellite phones as backups for rescue agencies should be planned. (Or did the cell phones work well enough?) 3. People used cell phones as their lifeline. Cell phones have become almost extensions of human beings. People calling and saying their last words to family members. I know a few people who were warned to board trains and ferries to New York immediately after the first plane hit the WTC. I see a greater demand in US for cell phones after this incident. 4. FCC/FAA has to do something about the use of cell phones on aircrafts. They tell us cell phones can cause crashes. But all those phone calls from cell phones in the hijacked planes surely did not make a difference. In this case, a cell phone call made to somebody who was on the Pennsylvania crash plane prevented further damage to USA.
