http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_signal_jammerAh yes I see that they didn't JAM the signal - they simply removed the power to underground service towers...which I would *think* is still illegal - surely the FCC has such rules (I'm trying to find out).
A government agency turning off mobile-internet and phone service to quash a possible demonstration — sounds familiar doesn't it? Just like the speech suppression used by Middle Eastern dictators to quell dissent. It's nothing more than unlawful suppression of First Amendment speech!
