In France, the talks about the rolling blackouts were acompanied by assurances that private homes wouldn't be affected, only industries.
So they should have some kind of ability to target at least a kind of user. I don't know if cell towers qualify as industry or their own, separate kind.
There's also the fact that there has been a massive rollout of connected meters, so, at least in theory, they could target individual homes for the blackouts (I'm not saying that would be useful in any way).
I don't know if other kinds of endpoints have similar kinds of meters, but they could.
- PragmaticPulp 4y ago> So they should have some kind of ability to target at least a kind of user. Industrial power is easier to separate because it is almost always a separate grid region. There aren’t many houses built up against your local steel mill or refinery. Cell towers are collocated with residential areas because that’s where the users are. The power for homes and cell towers comes from the same source.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoYes. But since power cuts shouldn't affect residential areas, cell towers should also be safe.
- alex_duf 4y agoI think I'd rather the cut be for everyone. There are enough people people who hate linky for no reason, I hope EDF won't give them an actual good reason to do so.
