My apologies, I think we crossed wires here. This thread included a discussion of continual residential Internet access in an extended power outage. That's the topic I was responding to, not E911.

Fire and security panels aren't critical services? If basic life safety and property protection aren't critical services, I'm not sure what is. These are peoples' lives and families and homes. There is nothing - repeat, nothing - more important than that. It is absolutely a critical service. Nathan Eisenberg
