Home Office cops an earful for emergency network feck-ups - £3bn overbudget and 3 years late

I read elsewhere that the requirement for resilience during power failure has been watered down, no big surprise as providing battery backup for cellular has always been expensive in terms of rollout and maintenance. Then there's providing that resilience all the way back to the core network and out again.

The whole concept of using a commercial cellular network for safety critical use is just bonkers.
