content: thats what I was thinking too. it's like a delayed Y2k  a similar thing happened in the prison where my gf works.  the phone system is run through computers and they couldn't make any phone calls to outside the prison.  which would be a hell of a way to fuck up a prison. all the cells are computer controlled. someone could open all or some of the cells. lock out the phones. and in a max prison, guards aren't allowed to have their phones in the building. so there would be no way for anyone inside to alert anyone outside.
