Telecom towers and their power
I assume cell phone towers have generators, and battery backup for when the generators run out of gas. Does anybody know if there is a standard on how long they have to be able to provide power for...

Working for a telco, I can state that not all cell towers have backup.
Side note - we had a localized power outage so I had my house running on my Honda 2000 generator. I know for a fact the Central Office my land line is out of has both generator and battery backup. So my dsl worked and we were watching Netflix, drinking wine, and reading the neighborhood FB page about how everybody was burning their cellular data minutes since the cable tv & internet were out.
