A simple and great way to do this is to replace the NID box located outside and fitted with a very big battery yet also acts as an ATA and providing power to standard phones. The device has an antenna sticking out of the box from the top which can operate normally even under severe conditions and people will be able to place a call even during power outages.
I don't see why we continue to look at new ways to use the copper when it has reached its limited unless shielding it as cable which was forced to do from the start. Not only that but we have now one less cable to snap during a storm. A tower can be protected to handle CAT5 winds and if the tower falls a truck right after the storm can setup a temporary mini tower providing phone services to those who need it most.
Cellphone technology can surpass that of POTS in reliability if the technology was improved and money was invested into it.
The only issue I see is the actual design of the box, and by creating energy efficient chipsets battery life can be extended surpassing the month mark.
The other issue which should be the biggest one is to finally see on what exactly is killing our freaking bees. Cellphones give out radiation, but then again most things do, so why the cellphone... -- The only limits we have are the one's we set ourselves. |
