Outside of Leopold's Cafe, "one of the gunmen seemed to be talking on a mobile phone even as he used his other hand to fire off rounds," an eyewitness told The New York Times.
As they approached Mumbai by boat, the terrorists "steered the vessel using GPS equipment," according to the Daily Mail. A satellite phone was later found aboard.
Once the coordinated attacks began, the terrorists were on their cell phones constantly. They used BlackBerries "to monitor international
reaction to the atrocities, and to check on the police response via the
internet," the Courier Mail reports.
The gunmen were able to trawl the internet for information after
cable television feeds to the two luxury hotels and office block were
cut by the authorities. The men looked beyond the instant updates of the Indian media to
find worldwide reaction to the events in Mumbai, and to keep abreast of
the movements of the soldiers sent to stop them.
