Imagine watching/listening to your local news.
Reporters in the field can't phone in stories because:
The phones probably use one of those services, perhaps google voice.
The news tickers likely connect to who knows what, perhaps CloudFlare.
Weather maps may attach to AWS, so no proper weather updates.

on 18 April 1930, the BBC's news announcer had nothing to communicate. "There is no news," was the script of the 20:45 news bulletin.

Imagine that but for hours, days at a time because it's too broken to be reported?

'Mrs Eldritch is at it again, singing songs of praise inn her back garden for the nineteenth day in a row but we can't show you because our digital radio systems don't work either, so we'll just have to tell you about it instead. She's now gathered an audience of approximately 500 locals, none of which can order Uber eats, so they biked in food from all over town to make up for it.'
