I'm sorry, but I don't see how any type of "Internet" can be built 35 years after a nuclear apocalypse destroys most (if not all) internet and communications infrastructure. Even a regional, localized, internet that is around as advanced as our Internet in the early 90's is still very implausible. Something the scale of this would require massive amounts of power that cannot be produced in the post-apocalypse, as well as cables and optic fiber wires going through the entire Gulf. Not to mention, something as primitive as ARPANET took the US government billions of dollars of research, years, the best minds you could find back then, and Cold War fever to create a (now) primitive communications systems. Not to mention the amount of online infrastrcuture needed to make a functioning "internet", (HTML, World Wide Web, DNS) that would have to be constructed form the ground up.
