I can post status updates to our noc twitter account from my cell phone (so no reliance on local network) and any customers who are using a smartphone device can get updates from their mobile, also wholly OOB from our network. I imagine there's a way to get updates via pure SMS too. I think it's the melding of the mobile with the Internet that is what gives Twitter its real power.
I agree however that if the only Twitter access is via regular computer it loses most of its value in this situation.

Twitter allows you to specify that you want SMS notification when someone you're following makes an update. -- Brandon Galbraith Mobile: 630.400.6992
