For the record, whichever sector number you are in, is the channel monitored by ZRT in your area (for example, I'm Sector 7, so my CB's have channel 7 highlighted).
Though you bring up an interesting point, which I'd love to know more about; grid going down. In a Zombacolypse scenario, what would have to happen for internet and cell service to be disrupted? I would assume cell towers run off of the main grid, but do they have backup/battery power? Are there any manned positions that need to be attended in order for the system to work, or can it operate all on it's own (at least until something breaks)?
For example, I know modern nuke power plants will run on their own, completely unmanned, for months, if not years.
Anyone in the telecomm industry present to educate us?
