How about considering the elderly. Who maintains the batteries in the NBN house installation?
What if you've exhausted the batteries and then want to make an emergency call?
Fibre to the Curb is coming here, Emu Heights NSW, if I have a UPS supplying the NBN gear
my end, will their network stay up in a power outage?
etc.. Many questions.

I am not sure about the power out situation, although the FTTC device that is installed in your premises does power the FTTC device on the pole or in the pit outside.
I am currently battling my RSP and NBNCo as the FTTC 'modem' picks up almost any stray RF and then starts to oscillate, wiping out most of the HF spectrum.
After weeks of arguing with the RSP and NBNCo, a tech finally showed up and when I showed him the WSJT-X waterfall and explained it was a bit like a spectrum analyser his eyes glazed over, he started to panic and make some excuse about checking some cabling and left. He closed the job, so now I have had to start the whole process with the RSP again before NBNCo will send another technician.
The system is flawed and does not have any place in it for customer service, the equipment is cheaply made, poorly shielded and flaky. I hace no idea how it got a C-Tick approval (but I can make a guess how). A multi-billion dollar disaster that we are paying for.
