Abstract :
If you were one of the unfortunate millions affected by the USA Northeast blackout of 2003, then loss of Internet connectivity probably was not your biggest problem. Whether trapped in a subway, stranded in an airport, simmering in unrelenting heat, or just sitting in the dark, 50 million people experienced inconveniences far more trying than loss of E-mail and Web surfing capacities.
