Re: Simple Solution Actually I think you need to look at some of the world statistics on power outages. Less than 1% outages last longer than 4 hours, so a four hour backup will service the majority of outages.
The 1% which are longer than 4 hours are the exceptional and usually occur only every few years. Now who's fault is that VZs or the power company.
I think you have a few more issues to consider than not having access to a landline telephone.
When you consider all the factors (cell phone, outage duration, take up rates on cell phones etc), very few people are going to be without some form of communication. |
