That's an efficient short term solution to their war on information control, but it's really just a delay. The problem for them is the sheer ubiquity of devices which can still record without access to the internet, and then be taken to regions where they can reconnect to the world and spill their secrets. People have come to expect the basic ability to communicate on a level that our forbears scarcely dreamed of.
"A well connected Community, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Phones, shall not be infringed."
