It's this kind of sloppy writing that makes the rest of us have to learn useless new words. I've never in my life heard the word "wireline" before today, and really can't see the need when "landline" works so well. Unless maybe we're talking about wired lines in the air? Even underwater lines lay on the ground.
Apparently this comes from someone at the Justice Department. God knows where they heard it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/04/AR2010010403062.html?wpisrc=nl_tech >"If wireline providers charge more for service packages that involve greater >speeds and/or higher usage limits, consumers purchasing these packages may not >enjoy the benefits of competition from wireless broadband, or may do so only >indirectly to the extent that consumers as a whole display a willingness to >substitute slower wireless service for faster wireline service," the agency >said in its filing. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
