So, if the tubes collapse, and take celphones with them, how fast can we revert back to landline, letters, and Indian runners? And when the mandatory digital switchover happens with television, and this scenario occurs, how do we disseminate information?

Radio, DirecTV, Newspapers, Satellite Phones, XM, Sirius.... There are a lot of ways to get information out.
Also even if every single undersea cable was cut it would still not "collapse" the tubes. Here in the USofA things would be fine. In fact performance might even improve if all the traffic from those foreign devils downloading naughty photos of our women was blocked.
