More technology hubs could help pave a way forward in addressing communication black-outs during large storms. Some New Zealanders were left in the lurch when critical communication links broke during Cyclone Gabrielle. Earlier, a technical glitch hit ANZ, holding up overnight payments and leaving customers without access to internet banking.
