For emergency purposes, mandate cell tower batteries with solar supplement.

And generators for bigger hubs.

Cellular internet is critical infrastructure now.

Same for ISPs. My internet wifi has battery backup, so as long as the ISP stays up we are good.

Cell towers nearby all went down during the last big power failure. I could hit one distant tower that still had power, but the signal was weak, and the tower was swamped. It could barely push data.

Next big earthquake will be a total shitshow if that’s not fixed.
