No doubt mobile phones have had the same popularity as in this country, I was rather mentioning the smaller places where there are less people and little infrastructure.
A shortwave radio service would be useful to these people. I would much rather listen to a radio with a reasonable speaker than some small mobile phone.
After what happened in Puerto Rico where all infrastructure and services were simply wiped out in one swoop a shortwave radio would be of great help in getting news and information across to the populace.
Remember one Puerto Rican ham mentioning they all literally went back to the Middle Ages and had virtually nothing.
The Pacific Islands like Puerto Rico are subject to devastating cyclones from time to time with loss of electricity, services and communications.
