Initially, many forms of long-range communication were limited, be they due to the threat of the Grimm, or that mankind has not accomplished space travel yet due to inefficient use of Dust not working outside of Remnant's atmosphere.

Moreover, if one of the towers is taken offline, then so does its network along with the rest of the towers.
