<div>Isn't it just a battery that gets stuck in the side of the NTU? Like the $10-20 kind you would get from Dick Smith.
Similar to the battery that would go in ones cordless phone.

I don't see how passing the responsibility to the RSPs would work unless the RSPs were allowed to charge for the UPS in a rental fashion. I think the UPS should be a "premium" service of sorts. Perhaps the RSPs could rent the UPS to users, with this cost subsidised
to those where the phone line is a mission critical service (severely ill people, etc…). That would be one way to ensure the UPS was maintained.
