Just spitballing an answer here.
Pretty much all electronic communication people receive is, in some way, dependent on private industry.

We have emergency alert systems through cell networks, but I’m still at the mercy of my private carrier functioning properly to receive that.
Emergency response is an angle I hadn’t considered, and that’s a great point.
