It doesn’t effect me directly, just indirectly thank god. Broadband was
one of the requirements I had when buying a house.

I hear you. I have a feeling that we will see some mid level chains head to the rural areas here soon.

It’s all the viewpoint of big city living I guess. They definitely seemed to miss the mark on the rural market (which is most the US).

I agree with you on pretty much everything that you have said here. I work for a telecommunications company and they are at this point actually dropping some of their customers due to the fact that they roam too much(they are the last of then big ones to do so.). Landlines will still be needed, especially for large businesses(ie K-mart, Target, and Wal-mart) and more importantly someone will figure out something else that can be done with that sort of infrastructure already built in. CB is something that many people thought would be replaced by the mobile handset, but it is still alive and kicking. I just do not see a time in the next twenty-five years where the big four mobile companies will spend the money to get to the more rural areas. It does not make sense for them to do so and as such Landlines will prevail there. Just my two cents.
