Doesn't the cell tower connect to the rest of the world via copper or
fiber feed ? How many of those towers have backup power ? The
majority of tower sites in my rural area have 4 hours of battery
backup without an on site generator. After 4 hours you are SOL.

That's why our local ham radio repeater is located at one of the few
cell tower sites with a standby generator. We also have 48 hours of
battery backup.
