Not directed at you at all.
To reanswer the question posed though, is still the same ; $$$. If network operators take the position that the electric utility supply should be more reliable than it is, then they need to start influencing and lobbying for ways for that to happen. If not, they will have to increase investments into local generation or storage capacity to bridge those gaps.You seem to imply that regulation is inherently bad; however the scenario that you describe (power failures impacting 911 service) is only a concern to an operator if there is a legislatively define deterrent.
Not at all. I'm saying that this problem will be solved one way or the other. Frankly it's surprising that anybody offering telephony service has gotten away with not fulfilling the battery backup mandate. I guess there must have been some wiggle room that the carriers took advantage of. And if so, legislation to fix that will be immanent.
