Of course, when the power goes out during a winter storm, *everything*
goes out, even if you have emergency backup power for your home. Said
fiber-fed terminal has only about an hour of reserve power,
So a mobile phone, lousy coverage and all, is still a necessity.
Which of course also goes out if the power fails, perhaps not as quickly as a poorly
constructed POTS system but it will. Various emergency sitatuations (hurricanes etc.)
have demonstrated this repeatedly.
