Inside those organizations.  Inside their transit providers.  Inside  
the call centers of the big eyeball networks.  Etc.  It would be a  
Big Deal on the 'Net.

Of course, the Internet is not "real life", but neither is just about  
any other business.  That doesn't mean they aren't important.   
Although I do admit "panic in the streets" is hyperbole - but I  
recognized it as hyperbole.  (Not that YOU have ever used hyperbole  
in your posts, Randy. :-)
