Why are you (we?) persisting on discussing the efficiencies at 1550? Is this, in your opinion, the optimal wavelength to pursue for the purpose of energy transport over fiber? Curious.

My thoughts are still centered on a paired, second strand that does nothing but handle "contingency powering" and possibly some non-bearer control and network management information at low speeds. The power aspect would be solely for a single voice service for lifeline purposes. It is not the responsibility of an integrated services provider to power all household appliances. All that is required is that which is enough to drive a keypad and the earpiece (possibly an integral speaker for ringer emulation) of a specially-designed high-efficiency phone when the lights go out.
