On Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina (HK) struck the Gulf Coast, causing significant damage in AL, LA, & MI. The destruction to commun. co. facilities in the region was extraordinary. HK knocked out three million customer phone lines. The wireline telecomm. network sustained enormous damage -- dozens of central offices & countless miles of outside plant were damaged or destroyed as a result of the hurricane or the subsequent flooding. Local wireless networks also sustained considerable damage -- more than a thousand cell sites were knocked out of service. This is the report of the Independent Panel established by the FCC to review the impact of HK on the telecomm. & media infrastructure in the areas affected by the hurricane.
