This should be no surprise to anyone.
You're surprised that the US Government has this capability in the year 2011?
The British Govt had the capability to shut down the phone system (even traditional landlines) since the 1950's, and have used it several times to great effect.

O.k. so they announced months ago they would do this. We already have emergency alerts come through TV and radio, have for many years. We see them all the time when hurricanes or tornadoes get close.. so whats so different about this one?
And.. Why? If we already have a good working system for emergency alerts in place and there is something special about this one, could it be that they are conditioning us to get used to them again - like the air raids of the 50's and 60's because they KNOW something Big will be coming?
As its stands now if the Feds needed to get something out to the masses in a hurry, they are forced to use the media on the medias timetable.
