Why does it matter to the large phone companies if you are calling a cell phone or a landline? Almost all the major phone carriers have wireless entities (SBC and Bellsouth, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint,etc). Pretty soon will probably see stuff like "As a Verizon customer you can call any Verizon wireless customer nationwide for free. Call an AT&T customer though and it'll cost you $25/min and your left kidney). Geez...
It may or may not be a First Amendment issue, but the music companies are in violation of the Fair Use Act by using technologies that don't allow consumers to make copies for personal use.
I've got 22% using non-MS browsers (Netscape, Mozilla, etc). The rest is various incarnations of IE. More than in the past, but still a long way to go.

No, because they will no longer exist. You won't be charged any cancellation fees though and they will help you transition to a new isp.
