Folks might want to see the current issue of IEEE Spectrum,
in which there is an article by Dave Farber on pages 51-52.
The article's focus is not on IEprep, but rather on cybersecurity.

An applicable partial quote:

	"[The Internet] was also the best way to contact family and
	friends in the northeast United States, as the telephone system
	overloaded, in part because of the destruction of a key
	installation at Ground Zero that handled local and cellular
	service."

Note that Dave Farber is a former Chief Technologist at the US FCC,
who regulate communications in the US.
