Per Florida Politics:
Gov. Ron DeSantis mentioned the continuing mobile community outage impacting AT&T customers, earlier than noting that issues might be worse.
In Orlando, DeSantis floated the “implications” of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) assault for instance of how “jarring” our reliance on cellular telephone know-how is.
“Think about if we had an EMP assault what would find yourself occurring on this nation. So it’s not essentially an excellent thought since you assume you’re simply so naturally reliant on having cell service,” DeSantis mentioned.
“In case you’re within the automotive, it’s good to work out the place you’re going to go. All this different stuff. So it’s somewhat bit jarring to consider the implications of one thing like that (if it) occurred on a a lot grander scale.”
