Right, but if you have a broad wireless mesh then radio jamming in one specific area wouldn't do much more than local damage; other routes could be found.
If a wireless mesh was effectively mostly linear along a river, then you only need to jam it in a couple of points to cause serious global issues for the entire network.

Use wire at those points.
