this poor fellow isnt aware the wired system is much more reliable in a
emergency. every line has a dedicated path, power backup is by big
batteries and generators designed to run for weeks. specs designed
during the cold war, it is very reliable. with the exception of peoples
cheap phones that need power to operate
now cell phones dont meet the military reundant specs, have limited
capacity, during a real emergency only emergncy workers phones will
function, all others will go all circuits are busy try your call later.
when you need it the most know it wouldnt work.
this so the limited capacity bandwidth can be used by emergency
workers........
plus cell phone handsets need recharged frequently, in a power outage
that may be a issue too.
Hmmmm,
Wires break, I am a ham operator, I have radio gears I can use in an
emergency charging batteries off my car. Solar panel is there too.
