The shortwave broadcasting infrastructure : one really bad solar storm, and
all satellite communication could be off for 6 months!

The highest solar flux numbers recorded were before the satellite
communications era...

GOOD.

I think the old birds will be used as canaries, allowing enought time to shut
down the new ones, which are better protected. Even then, a dead new bird can
be killed forever, if the radiation is strong enough, especially if it were an
EMP from a nuke device.
