Exactly. This is the one thing I have not been able to understand them being able to get around. If you read any typical state's regulations on how the phone company has to setup their CO's, battery backups, generators, etc.., you will see that they were forced to setup so that in the case of some unknown attack, either war or mother nature, the communication infrastructure could keep on running. Now, they are really being released from that liability. Yes, the CO's are still being forced to keep their CO's up and running, but what real good does it do when all the batteries in all the homes are dead and non functional.
