So let's see if I got this right.

The matrix crashes.

A new wireless one is constructed in its place.

The otaku increase in number and evolve into Technomancers and show the ability to access this matrix through some sort of matrix telepathy.

Is it just me or would this cause a major rush by the corporations to go back to wired networks for their facilties? For security reasons?

Likewise for cyberware ( if rumors that technomancers can effect it as well are true ) Obviously corporations would take a strong look at giving their forces old-style cyberware that wasn't subject to any technomancer manipulation.
