We sure do rely on our technology though. Cell phones, GPS.

Ditto for VOIP phones, because unlike wireline phones, they require remote power from the “fiber end” to the home, plus they need power in the home to drive the modem. You can battery back the modem, but you have to rely on the phone company to power the remote nodes. VOIP is not a “lifeline service.” Wireline phone work so long as the wire is in tact and the CO batteries can be kept charged.
