For many people in this country, we suffer extended power outages lasting a lot longer than 8 - 10 hours. Yes, buying a generator would be one solution.... not really viable for some people. Personally, I can last plenty long on food in the cupboards and bottled water on hand.... but having NO communications can be deadly, that being my sole point on the benefits of copper wire landline.

In the age of Cell phones it shouldn't be that much of a concern. You can charge your phone in your car as well.

My phone lasts 5 days without charging.

I'd venture to say that 99% of people who can afford FIOS will have a cell phone.

And if your suffering those type of outages then you're NOT where FIOS will be deployed as the power grid in larger cities is addressed before outlying areas.

And if it's that big of a issue get a $24 buck inverter for you Car so you can power the ONT in the garage. »www.powersystemsdirect.com/Power···_c27.php
