NYC cellphone shutdown due to miscommunication?

Okay honestly, the details on this still aren’t very clear. But it looks like
shutting down cellphone service in at least two of the
four NYC commuter tunnels over the past few days was the result of a “miscommunication” between the NYPD and the MTA
(Metropolitan Transit Authority). Service to the Midtown and Battery tunnels was restored yesterday after whatever the
miscommunication was got cleared up. Service remains suspended in the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, which are overseen
by the Port Authority of New York — they never consulted with the police in the first place, deciding to shut down
service in the tunnels on their own authority amid fears for public safety following the London bombings.
