said by Rob:I don't think landlines are dead. I think telco's have just refused to change their way of thinking when it comes to landlines. I still see the landline as a very valuable utility, but when I'm paying $15/mo. + $10/mo. in taxes, for a total of $25/mo., and see that I can get almost unlimited everything from a VOIP provider, then it's hardpress not to just switch.
Telco's need to rethink their landline business.
Which is why it's "dead" to them. They have to work to re-invent and someone how still make money.... and they'd rather not do that. LL's will be around another 50 years at least. The other thing is it's not sexy but still makes them money, but in business sexyness wins over actually making a profit.
