Does a Wireless Service Provider need to purchase TSP coverage for all of its telecommunications lines?
It is recommended that Wireless Service Providers enroll in TSP all telecommunications circuits that are dedicated to, or largely dedicated to, facilities, systems, and operations that serve national security or emergency preparedness and response purposes. Although TSP costs could be limited by purchasing coverage for only a portion of essential lines, a disaster that results in significant damage to communications infrastructure is likely to create a need to handle a significant increase in call volume. It is therefore highly recommended that a Wireless Service Provider ensures that it enrolls a sufficient number of lines to fulfill its mission during an emergency situation.
