Actually, I've read eventually phone service will be virtually free since the other things will pay for the cost of it. Like this guy, I thought he was stoned too.
No, when cellphones can call from wherever they are instead of where they like, mobile phones will kill off the landline. And, of course, they sound like a real phone call from everywhere. If you pay like $80 for unlimited with AT&T, why not $100 for unlimited with mobile? That price war is going to happen. Why did Alltel dump the landline division? Same goes for Sprint.
Exactly why do you think VZ and AT&T are getting in the TV business? Because their old model, landlines, is dying off. I'm sure VZ has figured out a way to eliminate copper while keeping some houses on copper. Qwest is thinking, "We'll just be a broadband provider eventually."
And, you might consider that thieves are gonna steal the copper anyway. -- Saving the world keeps me busy. However, I find Earth very primitive from my home planet of Krypton. -Supergirl |
