Ha Ha Ha!! Yeah right. Trust me guys Telco's aren't going anywhere in any of your lifetimes. Look cable companies just cannot handle the capacity nor do they have the facilities like telco companies. Can you imaging major banking corporations using a freaking cable company for their phone systems Lol!!! Thats gotta be the joke of the day. if the government made the cable companies pass every single dwelling with their plant system like telco's do they would fall on their asses in a matter of minutes... Yes telco's will shrink a bit but you will never in your lifetime see the end of them
