Even though we know it's technically possible, service providers aren't going to overprovision power backup unless there is a business reason to do so. Some state PUCs have minimum battery run times -- I'm sure service providers who provide telephone service are meeting that because their certificate depends on that. After that, it's just providing enough services to remain comparatively competitive.
It's unfortunate that some of them intend to wait for the PUCs and SCCs to compel them to maintain service availability at the level they learned to do it at for POTS. And then complain nodoubt about how much it costs since they didn't architect their network to be friendly to power backup. Don't these guys ever want to get ahead of the curve? If they want to keep making the case for being allowed to operate an unregulated monopoly/duopoly "information service," it seems like it would be unwise to provoke State Corporation Commission with service outages.
