AT&T Readying For the End of Analog Landlines

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday December 31, 2009 @03:50AM from the i-was-ready-years-ago dept.

nottheusualsuspect writes "AT&T, in response to a Notice of Inquiry released by the FCC to explore how to transition to a purely IP-based communications network, has declared that it's time to cut the cord. AT&T told the FCC that the death of landlines is a matter of when, not if, and asked that a firm deadline be set for pulling the plug. In the article, broadband internet and cellular access are considered to be available to everyone, though many Americans are still without decent internet access."

I read your comment, and I can't help but wonder... who cares? If you choose to live in such an area, that's your own choice, and I don't see why anyone should be complaining. I'm not saying you are, BTW.
Your comment about sat. tv is wrong too; they offer local channels.
