Top Text Message At The Inaugural: 'No We Can't'

On the 20th day of January, in the year 2009, the earth might just stand still. No, not because the USA is inaugurating the first African-American to the highest office in the land! A much more serious issue is afoot.

This is the day that cell phone carriers forecast a significant drain on the wireless capacity in Washington DC, not allowing the record millions attending Barack Obama's inauguration to 'phone home'... or phone anywhere, for that matter!

Carriers are expecting wireless traffic to escalate to more than four times the norm, where demand will outstrip supply, and the likelihood of cellular users getting a 'No, We Can't' response from their wireless service will become a definite possibility.
