It's happening where I live, now. My ISP recently announced that all the POTS lines, and any network connectivity over them, would be decommissioned shortly, and affected subscribers moved to cellular instead. It's happening all over the country, as the company that owns the POTS infrastructure has decided it's too expensive to keep maintaining it. -tih -- Most people who graduate with CS degrees don't understand the significance of Lisp.
