  Well as far as an actual 'kill SWITCH', I don't believe so, either.  However,
with how in bed the corporations have become with the bureaucracy that is our
corporatocracy/plutocratic government, I do believe that whatever chief
executive we have at the time is more than able to make a phone call, or notify
whoever, and get the primary backbone providers to drop everything only leaving
military communications intact.  As much of a asset as it is for them, they
will understand that it is also an asset for any people trying to network to
resist whatever debauchery they might be up to.
  I mean, they're already doing 4G blackout of areas that have significantly
motivated protests against them.  Up until those points, the officers are often
times at their terminals, and in their cars with terminals, monitoring all of
the people trying to get footage out via livestream to work around media
blackouts.  They're working with this threat, and how to mitigate it.  Being
able to selectively black out areas of the country is, I believe, an option
that they would not have ignored.

  I wish I did.  I'm still waiting on having the hardware for POTS and AX.25. 
Hopefully soon here.  Just need the paychecks to start rolling in again!
