| Huh? Who cares about the Triple Play?
Landlines are dying a slow death:
»Landline Use Continues Slow Death
Internet access and TV are where it's at. That being said they do need to partner for Net access somehow. But many of us want the best TV and most HD so we'll stick with Dish.
Market and deliver it as a superior product and people will come. |

Your last sentence hi-lites the reason POTS will be around for a long time. While one aspect of cell phones is superior to POTS (mobility), another aspect of POTS is superior (call quality). Plus, E911 tends to work better with POTS. POTS is more reliable than VOIP, and E911 works better also, while a good VOIP call can have better call quality. So if you are correct about the superior product, some people will continue with POTS. |

Tell that to the thousands in Ohio who have no cable since sunday - meanwhile - my pots was up 100% of the time cable was 9and for a LOT - still down. Not to mention - a good number of cell towers had no power Sunday. Several were down for more than a day - I am not sure they are all up in fact still.
My family and I (kids and wife) will take the POTS that has not been down in our current house for 8 years and well over 10+ years between the various places I have lived. |

Landlines are not DYING. The number of landlines have dropped due to 2nd lines being cancelled for dialup extinction and younger single people going strictly cellphone Eventually, its gonna even out.
MOST FAMILIES HAVE ONE NUMBER FOR THEIR HOUSE. Doubt this ever changes. |

| I can name 3 families off the top of my head that have no landline.
Most I know never give out their landline as nobody is home.
Landlines ARE dying. They have been on a steady decline for years now. |
|
| Yea, and I can name a hundred families off the top of my head that have landlines. DYING means they are on the path to non-existance. There will always be landlines.
Fix your terminology. |

How about the hundreds, if not thousands, without pots service in the same areas, from the same storm? |

Bloom County | What about it? My POTS has been far, far, far more stable than a TW cable/VOIP as the nodes in our area reek and far more stable than cell phones with better call quality. |
