The AT&T (formerly BellSouth) cabinets around here mostly have natural gas generators included, so they almost never go out. The cable companies, on the other hand, might have enough battery to last through a brownout.
Interesting - out of curiosity, how big are these cabinets/pedestals? Or would you by chance know details on the natgas power system they are using? Natgas is not ideal in a full-on disaster scenario like an earthquake, but probably could add another '9' onto service levels? I have never heard of or seen such a thing, but it is a really good idea. - Michael DeMan
