I would guess NSA studied everything, including telecomm, before making a move. In the end, it comes down to survivability and for most everyone that means water and power.

The nearby headquarters of the nation's largest telecommunications company, AT&T, makes San Antonio an attractive place for intelligence work.</I><BR/><BR/>The collusion between the nation's telecommunications industries and its' intel agencies is legendary and doesn't need fleshing out here.
