 From what I have read, here most of the towers inside the cities have 
batteries (lasting 4 hours). If they serve some emergency infra, like 
near a hospital, a police centre, they also have generators. Some may 
have nothing if not considered important enough. And out of the country, 
batteries are not mandated. And it is not only the antenas for the 
mobile network, it is also the links between them, and other links that 
may go down. And the whole thing had never been tested, obviously.

Then batteries have to be maintained periodically.

My mobile phone kept working the entire day because I got coverage from 
a tower at an old exchange, so it had a big generator. Many of the FM 
radio stations failed. I forgot to check AM stations; I would have 
needed to test on the car radio.
