Well you see in my city at every traffic light intersection, when power goes off they turn off and wait a few seconds later to turn back on by another power source, and as far as I know if they intend to use Fiber-To-The-Node, you're gonna need a switch to convert fiber light data to electrical data that goes later to the user via copper, I took the traffic light scenario and applied it to the switch, which I guess is wrong. I think in other countries they just hook up a nearby power wire to the switch since the power normally won't go out, but in our case the power has to come from somewhere that will never go out, which I'm supposing is the centrale.. correct?
During wars or emergency situations, everything can go down. But at least one thing should still up and running which is the communication infrastructure.
Really it's not logical to run wires from the neighborhood to the switch.
I don't think they are that dumm to install fibers that cost huge and from regular clients to big companies rely on this connection, how these customers will agree on this?!
It's not hard to run power cables to the switches, these devices don't use a lot of power so the cost shouldn't be big
