I need to know what would happen to services such as internet/phones if tomorrow everyone in America was gone. Would the services keep running for a short while until there's no one there to keep it going, or would it just keep running forever? I'm assuming power plants and the like would eventually stop working, but my concern is the internet services and such.

tl;dr: Would the internet/phone services keep running if everyone in America disappeared instantly?

Actually, most things would still work just fine, because there's still the rest of the world.

Heh, Americans thinking they are everything.
