Carriers should already be doing this. Many however do not.

Expect the costs to be passed on to the consumers.

They should be doing it but they should not be forced to do it.

Re: OMB slaps down FCC "power backup for cell tower" rules

Do you know how many batteries will be needed for 8 hours of back up power? With today’s technology 8 hour back up will double or triple the size of a cell cabinet. I can barely get my laptop to work for 2 hours unplugged and it uses half a percent of what a small cell cabinet uses.

Re: OMB slaps down FCC "power backup for cell tower" rules

I didn't say it required 8 hours of Battery backup. Just backup. To me that suggests more that it would require a Generator with at least 8 hours of fuel.

That would be a pretty expensive proposition for every cell tower, however.
