A thought...
the solar flares may nock out the public electronic infrastructure.
the governments have been working frantically to build an underground infrastructure to survive any calamities....
This news article below sparked within me the thought that if the main electronic grid is knocked out, including all communication structures, the protected governemnts would still have an underground working network.
Once things settled, they could repair or rebuild that damaged above ground...
Here is the article...something we expect..yet what is the deeper implications
CHINA'S new communist leaders are increasing already tight controls on Internet use and electronic publishing following a spate of embarrassing online reports about official abuses.
The measures suggest China's new leader, Xi Jinping, and others who took power in November share their predecessors' anxiety about the internet's potential to spread opposition to one-party rule and their insistence on controlling information despite promises of more economic reforms.
"They are still very paranoid about the potentially destabilising effect of the Internet," said Willy Lam, a politics specialist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
"They are on the point of losing a monopoly on information, but they still are very eager to control the dissemination of views."
