Re: FIOS and phone The battery doesn't power everything on the customer end - only the phone service (not IP, and probably not video).
Loss of power often coincides with an emergency situation, which isn't the best time to lose your ability to communicate. |

Atlantic, IA | Better yet send high intesity light, or a strange spectrum of light down a pair of fiber with a solar cell at the end...
I know that was stupid but it sounds cool! |

| Hey - you know what? That actually does sound cool. I'm sure there will be a bunch of people chiming in about how "that's not possible, you can't do that", but hey, never say never!
Sounds better than PoE, would it be called PoF?... |

Actually that would be fine to power almost anything given that anything ran off superconductors. Reason everything takes so much power is becuase it's more efficient at leaking energy than using it. Just look at how much computer processors give off in heat. 100w under load for some of them and they're consuming up to 300w in some cases. |

I wouldn't think it would power everything either but whatever they are terminating (maybe not the ethernet). Any analog phones would get power from the termination box. |
