Battery Maint in LEC equipment

Background: Verizontal is pushing their FIOS PON offering to residences. It will put IP access, 'cable' TV and POTS phone on glass. They then cut down your copper drop. But midst the VoIP E911 dustup, the issue of backup power has arisen. The FIOS box needs local power, and a small gel-cell good for say 5 hours. The *subscriber* must buy and install new ones as needed. Some pholks are dubious how well that will work... Foreground: There's one report that Verizontal, in ex-NuNuts territory, is also not maintaining batteries in their on-premises DS-3 -> n DS-1's mux's. Only if you get a full DS-3 will they bother. Question: Have any NANOG'ers [NANOGites? NANOGees?] run into this? Again, this is LEC owned, LEC maintained, equipment....Do you provide generator power for such in your space? -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
