So, your landlines die after an hour of power outage now? find that hard
to believe... sniff sniff, yes, troll day appears to have come early
this week..

and as for portable, how many old folk (70/80+) run around living on
their mobiles. SFA thats how many. 
just because the average person and their inner circles here live on the
things, dont assume the rest of the population does as well.
and the elderly are the MOST and highest "at risk"   from this change.
