My worry is for those on VOIP landlines as they may need to contact someone in an emergency after the battery has run out.
Mobile phones, ATM's, traffic lights etc may all stop working. |
Of course also most high end phones dont have the FM capability, (I think disabled at request of telco providers), low end phones its usually still enabled.
There will be questions asked if we impose blackouts whilst not asking people to save energy as well as industry.
