We do provide generator power in our space to the telcos. BellSouth has
a big (pre-existing) battery bank, but KMC didn't install batteries
(there wasn't much point; if our UPS and generator fail, there's nothing
for them to provide service to).
In this area, I believe that BellSouth uses natural gas powered
generators, as many of the remote cabinets (installed in the last 5-7
years or so anyway) have a gas meter next to them and a line running
into a second cabinet (generator/power supply I suppose).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
